The SAMA5D2 is different from SAMA5D3 and SAMA5D4, as there are two
different clocks for the peripherals in the SoC. The Static Memory
controller is connected to the divided master clock.
Unfortunately, the device tree does not correctly show this and uses the
master clock directly. This clock is then used by the code for the NAND
controller to calculate the timings for the controller, and we end up with
slow NAND Flash access.
Fix the device tree, and the performance of Flash access is improved.

You will have to rebase on top of at91-dt. And if I'm not mistaken, this
line should be:
+ clocks = <&pmc PMC_TYPE_CORE PMC_MCK2>;

I guess you're right but this will only reach mainline in 4.21. I get slow
flash access with 4.19 as well...
After a second look, it looks like the SAMA5D4 is affected too.

Ok, this is super annoying, I'll try to get that as fixes on v4.20 and
I'll rebase at91-dt on top of that...
