Can we instead declare a nand_controller_ops struct and then have
nand_hw_control point to it. Something like:

struct nand_controller_ops {
	int (*attach_chip)(struct nand_chip *chip);
	void (*detach_chip)(struct nand_chip *chip);
};

struct nand_hw_control {
	...
	const struct nand_controller_ops *ops;
};
