Anyway, the patch just makes it possible to register the device 
allthough nCE GPIO is not defined.
For people defining the nCE GPIO properly, the patch introduces no 
change at all.

[    0.498490] nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0x2c, Chip ID: 0xda
[    0.504906] nand: Micron MT29F2G08ABAEAWP
[    0.508918] nand: 256 MiB, SLC, erase size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, 
OOB size: 64

Diagrams on datasheet shows that CE\ can optionnaly go up between each 
access. See attached exemple.
