Actually hardcoding commands with ->exec_op() interface in the driver is really 
looking weird.
I agree with that.
But as per the spec, for every command, we need to set respective bit in 
PROG_REG and because
Of this, we need to track the commands for each exec_op() call.

As I said above, for each command we need to set a bit in PROG_REG, to initiate 
the operation.
The only conflicting thing is that, setting a respective bit in PROG_REG based 
on the command
Needs command tracking.

I didn't find any public spec for this IP, but you can find the register data 
base at below link
https://www.xilinx.com/html_docs/registers/ug1087/ug1087-zynq-ultrascale-registers.html
and click on NAND.
There we have Command Reg(Off: 0x0C) and Program Reg(Off: 0x10), which 
describes the usage.

Also not in depth but at least something is documented in TRM
https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug1085-zynq-ultrascale-trm.pdf
we can find the programming model in chapter 25.
Please let me know if I missed anything.
