Nope, it's been hand written, which might explain the warnings :-/.
Didn't know about sgen, I thought those scripts were all hand written.

Sure, here it is:

virtual patch

@fix1@
identifier __chipfield, __mtdfield;
type __type;
@@
(
	__type {
		...
		struct nand_chip __chipfield;
		...

		...
	};
|
	__type {
		...
-		struct mtd_info __mtdfield;
		...
		struct nand_chip __chipfield;

)

@fix2 depends on fix1@
identifier fix1.__chipfield, fix1.__mtdfield;
identifier __subfield;
type fix1.__type;
__type *__priv;
