This nand is not the same as in omap_gpmc driver priv nand, here nand
specifies nand_info_t which is "struct mtd_info" and in omap_gpmc driver
it is "struct nand_chip".

In class:
(nand_info_t) nand->priv = driver priv, ie nand_chip

In driver:
(nand_chip) nand->priv = struct omap_nand_info * (internal to driver)

So both are different and used for different purposes.
