OK, no problem.

Agree.

Before 1st patch this helper will be called by just one function
"nand_erase_nand". And then in that creating helper function does not
makes sense to me.
To me doing this in 2nd patch looks more logical.

Either way we will achieve same goal only number of lines in patches will defer.
So, if you still insist I can make it 1st patch.
