Artem,

Omap nand driver is being changed considerably with Afzal's omap-gpmc cleanup
series for common arm zImage [2] and those changes move many
of the nand related code from platform folders to omap nand driver.

Omap-gpmc changes are present in Tony's " omap-for-v3.8/cleanup-headers-gpmc"
branch [3]and is present in linux-next also, but is not present in l2-mtd.
Tony has signed tag including omap-gpmc cleanup series,
"omap-for-v3.8/cleanup-headers-prepare-multiplatform-v3-signed" [4]

If this series is made over l2-mtd, and it would cause lot of conflict
with omap-gpmc cleanup series.

I am not sure how this dependency has to be handled for this series,
let me know whether you still want it to be made over l2-mtd?
