No need to send the "interface-agnostic NAND layer" patches in future
versions of this series, let's wait until everyone is happy with the SPI
NAND patches.
But you can already create your own branch and maintain my patches
(rebase on newer kernel versions or nand/next if needed, squash changes
into existing commits if it makes sense, ...). It's also easier for
people who want to test your patches to have a branch containing
everything.
