First of all, I'm happy you are interesting in SPI NAND support and BBT
separation. I think we can work together for new BBT and SPI NAND acceptance.

As mentioned above, I already tried to send BBT and SPI NAND patch. But few
discussion after sending. Please feel free to do anything can push the patches.

I made the BBT patch on master branch of git://git.infradead.org/l2-mtd.git .
I already tried to apply it on the latest commit. It works. The version is
v4.1-rc4.

Feel free to let me know if you have any suggestion. If you still have any
issue about patch application, please let me know.

Thanks,
Peter Pan
