Merge tag 'for-linus-20120712' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd
Pull late MTD fixes from David Woodhouse:
- fix 'sparse warning fix' regression which totally breaks MXC NAND
- fix GPMI NAND regression when used with UBI
- update/correct sysfs documentation for new 'bitflip_threshold' field
- fix nandsim build failure
* tag 'for-linus-20120712' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd:
mtd: nandsim: don't open code a do_div helper
mtd: ABI documentation: clarification of bitflip_threshold
mtd: gpmi-nand: fix read page when reading to vmalloced area
mtd: mxc_nand: use 32bit copy functions
