The dma channel information is located within the GPMC node. The NAND driver requires a handle to the GPMC's dev to properly parse the DMA properties. Therefore, store a handle to the dev so it can be referenced within the NAND driver.

Can't we just use dev->parent in the omap2-nand driver?The omap2-nand platform_device is created by platform_device_alloc. The created platform_device dev parent isn't by default set to the GPMC dev. I didn't think this was the right approach to manually set the parent property. However, taking a look at other usages of platform_device_alloc it seems this is actually pretty common. If your ok with this then I can go that route.After my DT cleanup we no longer use platform_dev_alloc for DT cases. As Nand node is child of GPMC node, omap2 nand's parent is guaranteed to be the GPMC device. But for legacy boot we still use gpmc_nand_init() which calls platform_device_add() without setting pdev->parent and so it will set the parent to platform bus. Maybe we could patch gpmc_nand_init() to set NAND's parent to GPMC device?
Yup that was my plan. I'll send a rev 4 with this change and also your comments on PATCH 2.
