Yes just the missing patch.

> I understand FIELD_PREP/GET is the preferred way of linux accessing the register fields but it requires a constant MASK value and does not apply to our case as we have different versions of the register and have different mask.  There is way to workaround it. i.e defining the multiple constants directly and using these macros with if/else based on reg version. But it is not clean and since we already have helper functions that handle and return different shift/mask value, I see this is a perfect way for our situation and can adapt to future reg version change easily and cleanly.

Which errors?

+       acc_control = nand_readreg(ctrl, acc_control_offs);
+       return FIELD_GET(BIT(sector_size_bit), acc_control);

Does not return any error here.
