Good.

I think it will be best, that I add this new NAND driver code into a branch of 
the u-boot-nand-flash custodian repository. But only after the first issues 
are solved. For example I found quite a lot of coding style issues in your 
patch:

- Leading white spaces
- Trailing white spaces
- Indentation seems to be sometimes with 4 spaces instead of using a tab
- C++ comments (//)

Please clean this up. I'll send a more detailed review soon.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
