Why not make the 'name' part of struct s3c2410_nand_mtd?  IOW:

 struct s3c2410_nand_mtd {
 	struct mtd_info 		mtd;
 	struct nand_chip		chip;
 	struct s3c2410_nand_set 	*set;
 	struct s3c2410_nand_info	*info;
 	int				scan_res;
+       char				name[S3C_NAND_NAME_LEN];
 };

That way you can avoid...

This pointer arithmetic.

And this can become the more safe:

		snprintf(nmtd->name, sizeof(nmtd->name), "s3c_nand%d", setno);
		nmtd->mtd.name = nmtd->name;
