__devinit is not always the right thing for this.  Not having any
attribute is the safest thing.  Having any kind of init tag means
that there's a circumstance when the function will be freed, and
if the function pointer is called...

Should be quite safe if all the NAND devices are registered during
the initcall phase, which is normally true. Yet indeed will create
problems if they are registered later, e.g. in modules.
