For those interested, what I'm currently doing is attached inline below, 
this of course goes on top of the existing plat_nand driver hooks going 
mainline now:

http://git.marvell.com/?p=orion.git;a=commitdiff;h=75bb6b9aab3255f440ef4e72a31978d1681105d6;hp=673492a800b14a9aac5d9d1af120334b9578a23c

I probably will be re-writing the platform specific functions to be more 
like:

http://git.marvell.com/?p=orion.git;a=commitdiff;h=b7eafc31c123a0a068c475c1a8690de06de4e36a;hp=9154da39b1da931b60ff380d3172d797ccaed71e

I doubt (read|write)w is worth it for the extra function complexity.  
Feedback welcome on this of course though; I was thinking maybe to leave 
it in as DMA support is just around the corner but on my particular 
board there are no alignment requirements for using the DMA engines.

Cheers

Cheers
