I'm confused, either I missed the memo or something but whats wrong with the 
TS-72xx support in the mainline kernel?

http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/ts72xx.c
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/drivers/mtd/nand/ts7250.c

I stumbled on it accidently whilst writing my 78xx.c patches for the GIT tree 
and fortunately noticed the NAND driver.  The hardware is the same so I was 
able to make the driver more generic.

Might be worth contacting Lennert Buytenhek (email address in the first 
link).

Cheers

Alex
