Actually this is how we wrote it the first time. Then we got robots
reporting that anonymous unions where not allowed with older (still
supported) GCC versions and I had to do this:

mtd: nand: Fix build issues due to an anonymous union

GCC-4.4.4 raises errors when assigning a parameter in an anonymous
union, leading to this kind of failure:

drivers/mtd/nand/marvell_nand.c:1936:
warning: missing braces around initializer
warning: (near initialization for '(anonymous)[1].<anonymous>')
error: unknown field 'data' specified in initializer
error: unknown field 'addr' specified in initializer

Work around the situation by naming these unions.
