Bad assumption about ID field definition for Samsung NAND?

I don't know what's "legal" here. I'm appending the patch with a
sign-off for me and Tilman (since Tilman authored it). Hopefully that's
ok.

I'm really no expert on how inclusion for different versions goes; I
just send 'em to you! Anyway, this patch is *very* important:
* [PATCH] mtd: nand: Fix regression in BBM detection
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2010-August/031594.html
It addresses issues I overlooked with a lot of Hynix small-page NAND
(and others).
Other patches - they are ready, but not as important:
* Spansion ORNAND
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2010-August/031603.html
* New Samsung MLC OOB sizes
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2010-August/031621.html
No one has decided between these two (it's a "choose one or the other"
situation). They may or may not be ready:
mtd: nand: Expand nand_ecc_layout, deprecate ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT

And since you asked, the trivial...
Indentation errors :)

You already got this one, I believe:
Fixing a typo in on a buswidth option

Thanks for looking out for me :)

Apparently, the check for a 6-byte ID string is NOT sufficient to
determine whether or not a Samsung chip uses their new MLC detection
scheme or the old, standard scheme. This adds a condition to check cell
type.
