You are right, I somehow didn't send the correct patch for this.
This is my first time sending patch to mainline, lost in nervousness.

In micron flashes we can identify number of planes in LUN using 
parameter page Byte 166 -> vendor_specific[0].
Byte 166 will be "1", if LUN has more than one plane. 
I will resend the correct patch.

However, the device you mentioned is obsolete, very old and not in production.
This code will not support that.
Please refer new datasheets mentioned in the commit messages.
