Please see RFC PATCH 9:

mtd: nand: stm_nand_bch: introduce and initialise some important data structures

static void nandi_set_mtd_defaults(struct nandi_controller *nandi,
                                   struct mtd_info *mtd, struct nand_chip *chip)
{

[...]
       mtd->_sync = nand_sync;
       mtd->_suspend = nand_suspend;
       mtd->_resume = nand_resume;
}
