Didn't really look at the patch yet, but my build tests say:
drivers/mtd/nand/gpmi-nand/gpmi-nand.c: In function ?gpmi_ecc_write_oob_raw?:
drivers/mtd/nand/gpmi-nand/gpmi-nand.c:1536:2: error: too few arguments to function ?gpmi_ecc_write_page_raw?
drivers/mtd/nand/gpmi-nand/gpmi-nand.c:1446:12: note: declared here
