I've just posted a fix for the root cause ("[PATCH] mtd: nand: Fix return
type of __DIVIDE() when called with 32-bit",
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/14/578), so the fix for m68k's ndelay() is not
that urgent anymore.
As your patch is still a valid fix, I'll apply it, and queue it up for v4.18.
Thanks!
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Geert
