I don't understand this question. The current code with this check is 
available in mainline. Or not?

Why? There could still be new board ports using this NAND code without 
defining this 64bit printf format option. I don't think this check really 
hurts.

We could get rid of it of course if we would enable this 64bit printf format 
on all platforms and removed this option completely. This would cost a bit of 
image size but would make things easier/simpler. Just my 0.02$...
