Actually this is how we wrote it the first time. Then we got robots
reporting that anonymous unions where not allowed with older (still
supported) GCC versions and I had to do this:

    mtd: nand: Fix build issues due to an anonymous union
    
    GCC-4.4.4 raises errors when assigning a parameter in an anonymous
    union, leading to this kind of failure:
    
    drivers/mtd/nand/marvell_nand.c:1936:
        warning: missing braces around initializer
        warning: (near initialization for '(anonymous)[1].<anonymous>')
        error: unknown field 'data' specified in initializer
        error: unknown field 'addr' specified in initializer
    
    Work around the situation by naming these unions.
