yes. it is. I just check with IP team. The NFCBUSY of NFCDATA_STATUS is 
also refer to NFC_BUSY of HSMC_SR.

Thank you. your code works (just need some typo change).
I want to send [1] code with your signed-off and my acked to mtd list.
Is it okay for you?

This is also right if we apply above code change.

So after above patch for mtd list is accepted I'll send out the dts 
changes patch.
