The reason we have to hide wp status for status command is because
nand_base calls nand_check_wp at the very beginning of write and erase
function. This applies to both exec_op path and legacy path. With
Broadcom nand controller and most of our board design using the WP pin
and have it asserted by default, the nand_check_wp function will fail
and write/erase aborts.  This workaround has been there before this
exec_op patch.

I agree it is ugly and better to be addressed in the nand base code. And
I understand Broadcom's WP approach may sound a bit over cautious but we
want to make sure no spurious erase/write can happen under any
circumstance except software explicitly want to write and erase.  WP is
standard nand chip pin and I think most the nand controller has that
that pin in the design too but it is possible it is not used and
bootloader can de-assert the pin and have a always-writable nand flash
for linux. So maybe we can add nand controller dts option "nand-use-wp".
If this property exist and set to 1,  wp control is in use and nand
driver need to control the pin on/ff as needed when doing write and
erase function. Also nand base code should not call nand_check_wp when
wp is in use. Then we can remove the faking WP status workaround.

Maybe we can have the destructive operation patch from Borris.
Controller driver still need to assert/deassert the pin if it uses nand
wp feature but at least it does not need to guess the op code.
