This seems reasonable...  It would be needed to make commit 6efb21d6d0e7
("staging:mt29f_spinand: MT29F2G failing as only 16 bits used for
addressing.") work.  It also fixes a static checker warning.

My only concern is that the mtd/nand code seems to use -1 as a magical
page_id.  For example:


  2069  /**
  2070   * nand_exit_status_op - Exit a STATUS operation
  2071   * @chip: The NAND chip
  2072   *
  2073   * This function sends a READ0 command to cancel the effect of the 
STATUS
  2074   * command to avoid reading only the status until a new read command is 
sent.
  2075   *
  2076   * This function does not select/unselect the CS line.
  2077   *
  2078   * Returns 0 on success, a negative error code otherwise.
  2079   */
  2080  int nand_exit_status_op(struct nand_chip *chip)
  2081  {
  2082          struct mtd_info *mtd = nand_to_mtd(chip);
  2083  
  2084          if (chip->exec_op) {
  2085                  struct nand_op_instr instrs[] = {
  2086                          NAND_OP_CMD(NAND_CMD_READ0, 0),
  2087                  };
  2088                  struct nand_operation op = NAND_OPERATION(instrs);
  2089  
  2090                  return nand_exec_op(chip, &op);
  2091          }
  2092  
  2093          chip->cmdfunc(mtd, NAND_CMD_READ0, -1, -1);
                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^      ^^
  2094  
  2095          return 0;
  2096  }
  2097  EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(nand_exit_status_op);

I'm not sure if this affect spinand_read_page() etc.
