PATCH 1/1 mtd: nand: make more readable panic_nand_wait_ready() and nand_wait_ready()
panic_nand_wait_ready() and nand_wait_ready() calls dev_ready() without checking if it exists. This patch add check routine dev_ready() before run dev_ready()
and this makes the code more readable

panic_nand_wait_ready()andnand_wait_ready()callsdev_ready()without checking if it exists.
There are many occasions where we call a function pointer without (locally) checking that it is non-NULL. That is by design.
If you see a problem with this behavior, please fix this properly rather than covering it up. This patch will just make faulty drivers spin for 20ms rather than hitting a bug. Instead, you should aim to fix buggy drivers that call dev_ready() without assigning it; or even better, defensively improve nand_base to detect those drivers which are utilizing nand_command_lp() or nand_command() without assigning dev_ready().

This patch add check routine
dev_ready()before rundev_ready()and this makes the code more readable
This patch does not make the code more readable, nor does it improve the state of the original code much. Please solve and document a real problem.
Thanks,
Brian
