i haven't actually insterted debug code yet, but I started a quick
code review.  There is a function called 'mtd_probe_uclass_mtd_devs'
which states it will probe with DM compliant drivers.
I am thinking the nand and/or GPMC drivers are not yet DM compliant
yet.  The DM tree doesn't list any of the MTD parts.

Is it save to assume it just wont' work until the drives are DM
compliant, or is this driver designed to play with the lower-level
drivers as-is?
