But that doesn't quite change the fact that it is also a bug which should be 
fixed, right? Will you please investigate and fix it?

Rant: I think I've said it multiple times already, but Linux is a community 
effort. That's why the quality is so high and bug count so low. It was complete 
flub to have GPMI NAND driver in mainline linux for almost 6 months without 
merging the actual code that'd let anyone else test it and wait for the DT 
bindings. Maybe if you did merge it, this and many other bugs would already be 
fixed.
