Hm.. well the problem with that patch is that it's in the middle of an
unrelated series. As I already told you, I think you should have pushed
that as a one-patch fix. Have you seen that suggestion?

On the other side, you're fixing too many things in that single patch,
for my taste. Maybe I'm not the smarter developer, but going through
that patch is not easy to catch if there's no mistake done.

Usually if it's possible to split a patch (maintaining consistency) it makes
the reviewing process easier.
If you'd rather send this devm_xxx change yourself that's fine by me,
but *please* split the patch in two and write proper commit messages.

Anyway: this is just a silly change, the important one is the other
nand_scan_ident() fix. Could you help me review that?

I'm interested in knowing how will that work with 8-bit and 16-bit devices.
