I know docg4 is a bit specific and could maybe be moved out of the raw/
subdirectory. But in the meantime I don't want to block the series for
this. The better I can propose right now (open to other ideas as
well) would be to return 0 in nand_scan_ident() if the maxchip parameter
is 0 which is the case only in this driver AFAIS.
