FWIW I am not entrely happy with the whole send-and_wait implementation -
it looks like it is not being called concurrently so we don't need mutex
there... I'd do something like:

send_nand_wait() {

	set_bit(WAITING_RESPONSE, data->state);
	prepare message
	send message
	wait_for_event_interruptible_timeout(&data->wait,
					!test_bit(WAITING_RESPONSE, data->state));
	if (!test_bit()) {
		process
		return 0;
	}

	return -ETIME;
}

irq(...) {

	else if (test_bit(WAITING_RESPONSE, data->state)) {
		copy response...
		clear_bit(WAITING_RESPONSE, data->state);	
		wake_up(&data->wait);
	}
}

and not bother with kmallocing pending structure, but it should not
stop from merging driver.
