Things like mtd->writesize, mtd->erasesize, and mtd->size should be
initialized after calling nand_scan_ident(). These are currently
overwritten by the pxa nand driver, but normally you should be able to
remove this. IIRC barebox can also detect the chip widths automatically.
I don't know how to get the timings though.
