Yes, this was the patch I was talking about. But this patch seems little
different than the one I submitted to linux-mtd list at
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/59180/. But I can submit another patch
which corrects it. 

Wolfram Sang,
Do you agree that in the above link which shows the patch I have submitted,
the comment matches the code?
