It is...

885d71e5838f ("mtd: gpmi: fix the NULL pointer") added this flag to
avoid a NULL pointer dereference on chip->buffer->databuf on mx23,
which IIRC does not exist anymore.

I believe we could get rid of it. But anyway, I like the "cleanup"
proposed by Boris so IMHO you can add these two patches to the series.

Thanks,
Miquèl
