I missed this _, this is not something we want to add.

Also, when applying your patches I had several issues because they
where not base on the last -rc1.

Finally, I think I forgot a line when patching manually so it produces
a warning now.

I am dropping patch 3 and 4, I keep patch 1 and 2 which seem fine.

Please send a rebased and edited v4 for these, don't forget to drop the
kbuildtest robot tag and please also follow these slightly edited
commit logs:

2/4

    mtd: rawnand: Add support for manufacturer specific suspend/resume operation
    
    Patch nand_suspend() & nand_resume() to let manufacturers overwrite
    suspend/resume operations.

3/4

    mtd: rawnand: macronix: Add support for deep power down mode
    
    Macronix AD series support deep power down mode for a minimum
    power consumption state.
    
    Overlaod nand_suspend() & nand_resume() in Macronix specific code to
    support deep power down mode.

Thanks,
Miquèl
