On Altera SoCFPGA, upon either cold-boot or power-on reset, the
Denali NAND IP is initialized by the BootROM ; upon warm-reset,
the Denali NAND IP is NOT initialized by BootROM. In fact, upon
warm-reset, the SoCFPGA BootROM checks whether the SPL image in
on-chip RAM is valid and if so, completely skips re-loading the
SPL from the boot media.
This does sometimes lead to problems where the software left
the boot media in inconsistent state before warm-reset, and
because the BootROM does not reset the boot media, the boot
media is left in this inconsistent state, often until another
component attempts to access the boot media and fails with an
difficult to debug failure. To mitigate this problem, the SPL
on Altera SoCFPGA always resets all the IPs on the SoC early
on boot.
This results in a couple of register values, pre-programmed by
the BootROM, to be lost during this reset. To restore correct
operation of the IP on SoCFPGA, these values must be programmed
back into the controller by the driver. Note that on other SoCs
which do not use the HW-controlled bootstrap, more registers
may have to be programmed.
This also aligns the SPL behavior with the full Denali NAND
driver, which sets these values in denali_hw_init().

NAND flavors, like serial and parallel, have a lot in common and would
benefit to share code. Let's move raw (parallel) NAND specific code in a
raw/ subdirectory, to ease the addition of a core file in nand/ and the
introduction of a spi/ subdirectory specific to SPI NANDs.
