I still do not understand what this whole crap is for. This patch will
not make it anywhere.

As I said before, this problem can simply be solved by a check for the
manufacturer ID in nand_scan() and a small tweak of nand_default_bbt().

Your solution requires board driver support, but this is a chip level
not a board level problem.
