By adding the device as a parameter to nand_scan(),
and presumably nand_scan_ident() ... which is a more
invasive API change, and would require a "flag day"
to convert all drivers.
My default assumption for API changes is to avoid
flag days. They can be done, yes, but I don't see
a compelling reason to choose one here.
