We definitely don't want to see such board specific stuff in the common
NDFC driver. And I really doubt that you need this change for your board.
We are using this ndfc driver on multiple boards, and all have no
problems accessing the controller with 32bit read/writes. So you most
likely have a problem with your board port. Perhaps something with
with the EBC setup. Please re-check and compare with boards that are know
to work, like Sequoia.
  

How about adding a config option that lets you specify 8 bit access? 
Something like CONFIG_NDFC_8BIT_ACCESS. We could default it to no and 
put a little blurb that says something like:

On some platforms the 32bit read/writes cause a machine access 
exception. If you get a machine access exception while reading the NAND 
bad block table, try turning on 8 bit access.
