No global variables like this please. Here is how you use them:

+extern unsigned long msm_nand_phys;
+#define MSM_NAND_REG(off) (msm_nand_phys + (off))
+
+#define MSM_NAND_FLASH_CMD            MSM_NAND_REG(0x0000)
+#define MSM_NAND_ADDR0                MSM_NAND_REG(0x0004)

Could you please make the macros to take the "struct msm_nand_chip
*chip" argument instead, and store the pase address there. Do not hide
the fact that those macros are actually functions, not constant - this
is error prone.

Besides, I'm do not know your HW, but if you have several controllers
with various base addresses - your driver won't work.

Please, revise all your pr_info() calls and turn most of them into
dev_dbg() or pr_debug. Your driver should be completely silent by
default, except of error messages and some information messages when it
is initialized.
