AT91: Change nand buswidth logic to match hardware default configuration
The recently modified nand buswitth configuration is not aligned with
board reality: the double footprint on boards is always populated with 8bits

So we have to consider that without particular configuration the 8bits
buswidth is selected by default.
Moreover, the previous logic was always using !board_have_nand_8bit(), we
change it to a simpler: board_have_nand_16bit().

isci: atomic device lookup and reference counting
We have unsafe references to remote devices that are notified to
disappear at lldd_dev_gone. In order to clean this up we need a single
canonical source for device lookups and stable references once a lookup
succeeds. Towards that end guarantee that domain_device.lldd_dev is
NULL as soon as we start the process of stopping a device. Any code
path that wants to safely lookup a remote device must do so through
task->dev->lldd_dev (isci_lookup_device()).
For in-flight references outside of scic_lock we need reference counting
to ensure that the device is not recycled before we are done with it.
Simplify device back references to just scic_sds_request.target_device
which is now the only permissible internal reference that is maintained
relative to the reference count.
There were two occasions where we wanted new i/o's to be treated as
SAS_TASK_UNDELIVERED but where the domain_dev->lldd_dev link is still
intact. Introduce a 'gone' flag to prevent i/o while waiting for libsas
to take action on the port down event.
One 'core' leftover is that we currently call
scic_remote_device_destruct() from isci_remote_device_deconstruct()
which is called when the 'core' says the device is stopped. It would be
more natural for the final put to trigger
isci_remote_device_deconstruct() but this implementation is deferred as
