Possible bug in onenand_base ?

Hello all,

After commit 5988af2319781bc8e0ce418affec4e09cfa77907 (mtd:
Flex-OneNAND support) the onenand support for my device is broken.

Before this commit when I run the nandtest program all is ok
---
# nandtest /dev/mtd3
ECC corrections: 0
ECC failures   : 0
Bad blocks     : 0
BBT blocks     : 0
002c0000: checking...
Finished pass 1 successfully

Introduced commit 5988af2319781bc8e0ce418affec4e09cfa7790 the nandtest
fails with:
---
# nandtest /dev/mtd3
ECC corrections: 0
ECC failures   : 0

BBT blocks     : 0

Investigating a little I see a significant difference introduced by
this patch. In line

347:        page = (int) (addr - onenand_addr(this, block)) >>
this->page_shift;   (patch applied)

instead of

347:        page = (int) (addr >> this->page_shift);  (without patch)

I applied commit 5988af2319781bc8e0ce418affec4e09cfa7790 and replaced
the line 347 and now works again. Fantastic, but I suspect this is not
the proper solution (probably this breaks other onenands devices, I
can't test).

I'm just introducing in OneNAND devices so anyone can help me to
understand and solve the problem ? Note that my device is a Numonyx
4-Gbit DDP (DUAL DIE PLAN) OneNAND flash memory ( 2 dice of 2Gb, 2KB
page )

Thanks in advance,
