Again, this will oops on the second probe. And you still don't
lock fsl_lbc_ctrl_dev->nand during check-then-assignment, so
with parallel probing there will be a race. :-(

We do have boards with several NAND chips (e.g.
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc8610_hpcd.dts), so these issues
are all legitimate.

Thanks,
