MTD NAND updates

MTD NAND updates

Hi List,

while going through the NAND specific parts of the MTD layer I noticed that
there are quite a few updates available from recent Linux kernel versions:
 * detection of flashes via ONFI
 * improved detection of flashes via extid
 * added device id's in the hard-coded table

I'd like to provide some patches, just a few questions:
 * should I base them on master or next?
 * should I try to cherry-pick updates from the kernel or should I just
merge stuff from the kernel and send patches split into logical parts
(onfi, extid, id additions)?

Thanks,
Dirk

master is fine. I'll handle the conflicts if necessary.

Splitting into logical parts seems to make the most sense. If it's just
a single patch you can also cherry-pick it, but we don't need the whole
feature-add-then-several-bugfixes history.
