The plan is to have a doc driver in drivers/mtd/nand which uses the generic 
nand code and overrides the doc specific functions. On top of this (I)NFTL 
can be used or JFFS2/YAFFS without the (I)NFTL layer.

Dan Brown is actually working on it.

No, this will be part of the doc driver in drivers/mtd/nand
