Firstly my apologies for being bit aggressive in getting patches
reviewed. Yes, I was bit irritated as patch re-submissions were
taking much of my energy and time as well, while lot of other things
are still pending on me to cleanup this driver and add functionality to it.

And I understand the patch reviewing is tough because reviewer
needs to first understand the driver & hardware context, and then
reply from a broader point of view of generic frame-work.

Currently I'm the only supporting NAND driver in both kernel and
u-boot from omap side. And therefore, I plan to get both u-boot and 
kernel nand drivers cleaned-up and optimized, so that it becomes
scalable for future enhancements.
Aim is to get most of end-users to boot from mainline, so that they
are self dependent and up-to-date to new frameworks.

Once I'm done with my current commitments, I can help you in getting
some enhancements for generic framework.
For example, following patch adds checks for automatic bus-width
detection in generic NAND framework.

Hope such things help reduce some of your load.
And thanks again for the reviews, I'll submit next revision of patch soon.
