Setup mtd device from NAND board driver:

        /* Set address of NAND IO lines */
        this->IO_ADDR_R = (void __iomem *)adm5120_fio_base;
        this->IO_ADDR_W = (void __iomem *)adm5120_fio_base;
        /* Set address of hardware control function */       
        this->hwcontrol = adm5120_hwcontrol;
        this->dev_ready = adm5120_device_ready;
       /* 20 us command delay time */
       this->chip_delay = 20;
       this->eccmode = NAND_ECC_SOFT;

and I attach nand_base driver from my kernel.
