The code NETGEAR provides for ReadyNAS 102 is a (lightly) modified
version of KW40 LSP release 3.1.0-NQ. This is basically a 3.0.X kernel
(X=6 for Marvell LSP, X=56 in NETGEAR's tarball), with some 1,133,970
(no typo) lines patches on top of it:

A quick look provides the following:

$ wc -l arch/arm/plat-armada/mv_drivers_lsp/mv_mtd/nand_nfc.c 
1761 arch/arm/plat-armada/mv_drivers_lsp/mv_mtd/nand_nfc.c

$ head -10 arch/arm/plat-armada/mv_drivers_lsp/mv_mtd/nand_nfc.c

Which matches what Thomas wrote in a previous email regarding pwa3xx
