Hi,

few minor things. I could just do this all myself, but since this is not
the first non-perfect patch you send, I think I'll be a little nasty and
ask you should do the exercise :-)

1. Do no add extra line between the message and signed off.

2. Ideally, your patches should be applicable with git-am without the
   need to edit them. Try git am for your patches and see the result -
   the commit message will contain 'Hi Artem,' phrase, which should not
   be there.

The kernel does not compile with this patch. You should make this patch
the second, the first one should introduce MTD_MLCNANDFLASH.

The kernel has to be bisectable, you patches should not break
bisectability.
