The real problem here is that drivers/mtd/nand/omap2.c is including
plat/gpmc.h and calling a function in arch/arm/mach-omap/gpmc-nand.c. So
although Daniel's patches are not introducing any new problems for
single zImage, they do highlight a problem that we have with the omap2
nand driver that needs to be addressed for single zImage.

So either we fix this now or after merging Daniel's changes. Either is
fine with me.

Cheers
Jon
