Nope, it's been hand written, which might explain the warnings :-/.
Didn't know about sgen, I thought those scripts were all hand written.

Sure, here it is:

--->8---
virtual patch

@fix1@
identifier __chipfield, __mtdfield;
type __type;
@@
(
__type {
...
struct nand_chip __chipfield;
...
- struct mtd_info __mtdfield;
...
};
|
__type {
...
- struct mtd_info __mtdfield;
...
struct nand_chip __chipfield;
...
};
)

@fix2 depends on fix1@
identifier fix1.__chipfield, fix1.__mtdfield;
identifier __subfield;
type fix1.__type;
__type *__priv;
@@
(
- __priv->__mtdfield.__subfield
+ nand_to_mtd(&__priv->__chipfield)->__subfield
|
- &(__priv->__mtdfield)
+ nand_to_mtd(&__priv->__chipfield)
)

Thanks,
