   Currently we are updating max_cwperpage  in qcom_nand_attach_chip(),
but we are seeing issue for Hynix nand device since nand_scan_tail() is
getting called after nand_attach() and in nand_attach() we are updating
max_cwperpage to 4 or 8 based on page size.

    From nand_scan_tail() there is a call for nand_manufacturer_init()
, specific to Hynix nand read_id is getting called that's why we are
seeing this issue only for Hynix nand device. Read id sequence as below

   hynix_nand_has_valid_jedecid()

                |

   nand_readid_op()

             |

 qcom_nandc_command()

            |

pre_command()

          |

clear_bam_transaction()   --> In this call we are doing sg_init_table()
which is calling memset() based on max_cwperpage.Since initially we have
allocated bam transaction as per max_cwperpage =1 and , since
nand_chip_attach() updated max_cwperpage,  now we are doing memset as
per max_cwperpage = 4 or 8.


So anyway we have to updated max_cwperpage after nand_scan() call only. 
Since there is no other dependency on max_cwperpage in
nand_attach_chip() and we are using this in bam_alloc() and bam_clear().
