SubjectRe: [PATCH] mtd: rawnand: fix an error code in nand_setup_interface()

This truly is questionable (and I am not yet decided whether the answer
should be yes or no).

Returning an error here would produce the entire boot sequence to fail,
even though the NAND chip would work in mode 0.

Not returning an error would print the below warning (so the
user/developer is warned) and continue the boot with the slowest
timing interface.

Honestly I would be more in favor of letting things as they are
because I don't think this may be considered as a buggy situation, but I
am open to discussion.
