I believe people are trying to kill such messages from the kernel. If
kmalloc() fails to allocate memory, the mm system should give plenty
of scary and helpful messages anyway. This print message just becomes
bloat, then.

No, you cannot do this. Some drivers will provide their own cmdfunc,
so nand_command_lp() is unexpected for those drivers.
Your problem seems, instead, that you are executing this function too
early, before nand_flash_get_type() is able to assign
nand_command_lp() to be your cmdfunc. You might just want to call this
function after the following lines in nand_flash_get_type():
/* Do not replace user supplied command function! */
if (mtd->writesize > 512 && chip->cmdfunc == nand_command)
chip->cmdfunc = nand_command_lp;
