Yes, yes it should. This is just a patch to get the driver working... it
is not a full blown of platform driver.

Currently there is no working NDFC driver in the kernel. I felt a
working driver, even if less than optimal, is better than not
supporting NAND on the 44x. This driver is no worse than the
arch/ppc version was, it is just no better ;)

Cheers,
