Reg status of mtd: nand: Allow NAND chip ids to be included standalone

Reg status of mtd: nand: Allow NAND chip ids to be included standalone

[Sumit Semwal]

Hello,

As part of Linaro's Android Upstreaming effort, we were revisiting
outstanding patches, and realised that this patch [1] isn't yet
upstream.

I asked Artem for his advice (in a personal email), and he kindly
pointed me to ask on the mailing list as well - so could anyone please
let me know if there was something pending with this patch, or did it
just get missed?

If it just got missed, I could help with re-submitting it if required,
so it can get queued up.

Thanks very much!

I fully agree with Artem's comment from 4 years ago:

"No, I think you should "sell" your driver better than that."

Your msm_nand driver should be rewritten to use nand_base properly, at
which point your linked patch would be unnecessary.

IOW, the linked patch is now officially "Rejected".
