OK I will explain it better in commit log in next revision. Let me explain here a bit.

Prior to this patch it was working like this

	/* in gpmc_read_settings_dt() */
	s->device_width = 0;	/* invalid width, should be 1 for 8-bit, 2 for 16-bit */
	of_property_read_u32(np, "gpmc,device-width", s->device_width);

	/* in gpmc_probe_generic_child () */
	if (of_device_is_compatible(child, "ti,omap2-nand")) {
		/* check for nand-bus-width, if absent set s->device_width to 1 (i.e. 8-bit) */
	} else {
		/* check for bank-width, if absent and s->device_width not set, error out */
	}

So that means if all three, "gpmc,device-width". "nand-bus-width" and "bank-width" are missing then
it would create an error situation.

The patch is doing 3 things.
1) Make sure all DT checks related to bus width are being done at one place for better readability.
2) even if all 3 width properties are absent, we will not treat it as error and default to 8-bit.
3) check for nand-bus-width regardless of whether compatible to "ti,omap2-nand" or not.

Hope this explains well.

cheers,
