Hm.  Why did you do that?  It adds restrictions to the driver that
really don't need to be present.  If people want a single MTD device
across multiple chips, they can use mtdconcat.

Remember, just because you've never seen something, doesn't mean it
doesn't exist.  Bamboo even has two different sized NAND chips
hooked to the NDFC, IIRC.
