Applied the series. Thanks!
Out of curiosity, what tests does gpmi-nand.c now pass/fail?
Also, is it time to yank / fixup some of these comments from
gpmi-nand.c?
...
* FIXME: The following paragraph is incorrect, now that there exist
* ecc.read_oob_raw and ecc.write_oob_raw functions.
*
* Since MTD assumes the OOB is not covered by ECC, there is no pair of
* ECC-based/raw functions for reading or or writing the OOB. The fact that the
* caller wants an ECC-based or raw view of the page is not propagated down to
* this driver.
