The big problem is that the Armada 370 and Armada XP datasheets are
still only available under NDA, so it's quite hard for someone to step
up and do this, without access to those datasheets.
bummer.

It used to be on our TODO-list, but isn't any longer, and I have no
informations about when it will re-appear on our TODO-list at this
point.
So, Arnaud, how do you feel about tackling the nand driver based on the
sources you have and the pointers above?
Sadly, I do not have enough spare time to work on this: at the moment, I
intend to focus on writing a clean driver for ISL 12057 RTC/Alarm chip
and get it accepted for 3.12.
more bummer.  Willy, mind posting what you have?  Arnaud, do you have a
link to the source code for your device?  And have you found the code
they started with?
The code NETGEAR provides for ReadyNAS 102 is a (lightly) modified
version of KW40 LSP release 3.1.0-NQ. This is basically a 3.0.X kernel
(X=6 for Marvell LSP, X=56 in NETGEAR's tarball), with some 1,133,970
(no typo) lines patches on top of it:

A quick look provides the following:

$ wc -l arch/arm/plat-armada/mv_drivers_lsp/mv_mtd/nand_nfc.c 
1761 arch/arm/plat-armada/mv_drivers_lsp/mv_mtd/nand_nfc.c

$ head -10 arch/arm/plat-armada/mv_drivers_lsp/mv_mtd/nand_nfc.c
