Generic NAND driver - plat_nand.c

Hello all,

Just a curiosity question about the Generic NAND driver.

During the "Probe for the NAND device" shouldn't the memory region be
requested/
reserved using request_mem_region() before the ioremap()?

I wrote a custom NAND driver for the Cirrus EP93xx that I was using with
an
older kernel. I just updated to the 2.6.24.3 kernel and saw the Generic
NAND
driver and decided to try it. It works fine on my platform but I was
curious
about the missing request_mem_region().

Thanks,
Hartley Sweeten
