[PATCH 1/2] mtd: gpmi: fix the NULL pointer

[Huang Shijie]

The imx23 board will check the fingerprint, so it will call the
mx23_check_transcription_stamp. This function will use @chip->buffers->databuf
as its buffer which is allocated in the nand_scan_tail().

Unfortunately, the mx23_check_transcription_stamp is called before the
nand_scan_tail(). So we will meet a NULL pointer bug:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch uses the local array(whose size is 4 bytes) to replace
the referencing of the @chip->buffers->databuf.

Use the macro FINGERPRINT_LEN to avoid the hardcode.
