Thanks for the quick submission!
However, Brian is right, this code duplication is a no go.
Perhaps a more valid approach would be to first identify the code that
needs to be shared in nand_bbt.c and nand_base.c, and export those
symbols (or maybe do the required refactor).
Then, separate the SPI NAND upper and lower logic (in a similar to my
proposal, which I still consider turned out to be clean).
These two things would lead to a simpler and smaller patchset. I also
suggest to cut off everything that we don't utterly need on a first
submission, so it's easier to review.
