Actually that approach doesn't quite suit me.
I'm not convinced at all a new rewrite of the driver will be stable right out of
the box as the old one is.

What I would propose instead is :
 - keep both the new marvell nand driver and the old pxa3xx_nand driver
 - switch pxa_defconfig to compile them both
 - continue testing (with my help)

Once I see the marvell_nand is working properly, we can remove pca3xx_nand in a
second stage, keeping the pxa platform functional all along.

Would you agree to that path ?

As a side not, this patch should be split into 2 parts :
 - one for arch/arm -> switch to the new driver
 - one for drivers/mtd -> removal of the old driver

Cheers.
