[PATCH v3] mtd: gpmi: fix the NULL pointer

[PATCH v3] mtd: gpmi: fix the NULL pointer

[Huang Shijie]

The imx23 board will check the fingerprint, so it will call the
mx23_check_transcription_stamp. This function will use @chip->buffers->databuf
as its buffer which is allocated in the nand_scan_tail().

Unfortunately, the mx23_check_transcription_stamp is called before the
nand_scan_tail(). So we will meet a NULL pointer bug:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch rearrange the init procedure:
   Set the NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN to skip the nand scan firstly, and after we
   set the proper settings, we will call the chip->scan_bbt() manually.

This looks good. Thanks guys. Pushed to l2-mtd.git.

I'm not sure how much sense all your function names make now; for
instance, gpmi_pre_bbt_scan() doesn't have anything to do with the BBT
scan any more, does it?

I will delete it in the clean-up patch set after the merge-window
