Me thinks that you'll have to call fsl_upm_nand_init() for each
chip, and that's all. If not, feel free to patch it as you feel appropriate,
I'll able to regress-test this driver on MPC8360E-RDK.

This isn't really an excuse to duplicate drivers. :-) This driver was
tested on MPC8555 and MPC8360 CPUs, so it should work with no drastic
changes. Some issues might still be there, and if so, fixes are highly
appreciated.

..especially if general idea works well, we should use single driver.
