nanddump: warn when the start address is not page aligned
nanddump should be consistent with nandwrite, which does not accept non page aligned start addresses. Thus, non page aligned dumps are useless. To ease migration only warn for now. Add the plan of making this an error to feature-removal-schedule.txt. Tweaked by Artem. Signed-off-by: Baruch Siach <baruch@tkos.co.il> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
