Hmm, get_maintainer.pl got Artem's address wrong (old Nokia address) for
gpio-nand.c so correct one on CC now!

OK, fair point. I'm not sure what a better name would be though, maybe
gpio-assisted-nand?

Doh, that shouldn't read like that. It's really just the bank width.

Yes, that's definitely wrong! The partitions should be directly under the
nand controller node.
Thanks for the review!
