Please, do not forget to fix the following warnings as well:

Sparse:
+drivers/mtd/nand/atmel_nand.c:1446:52: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer [sparse]

gcc:
+drivers/mtd/nand/atmel_nand.c: In function 'atmel_nand_probe':
+drivers/mtd/nand/atmel_nand.c:1451:1: warning: label 'err' defined but not used [-Wunused-label]
