If you can hold until this evening (ie. in 12h), I'll post the same version of
the patch with Ezequiel's comment, and Ack/Test if he provides it.

If you have to decide in the next few hours, take it, this fix should land in
v4.3.

I'll resend my pxa3xx-nand backlog this evening for fixes I have on mind which
are simple fixes :
- this one (random command timeouts)
- Antoine's one (resent yesterday)
- my fix for probe (mtd: nand: pxa3xx_nand: fix early spurious interrupt)
If you can wait this evening it will spare you digging through your mails.

Or alternatively Ezequiel, if you want to aggregate the patches because you have
others on mind also, please feel free to overtake this from me before my evening :)

Cheers.
