You export nand_get_default_data_interface() here, but you don't export
onfi_init_data_interface().
None of these functions should be called from NAND controller drivers,
so they don't need to be exported. ITOH, the prototypes are public
(defined in nand.h), so nothing prevents a driver from calling these
functions.

I don't know what's the best solution here:
1/ Export both nand_get_default_data_interface() and
   onfi_init_data_interface()
2/ Do not export them, but keep their prototypes in nand.h with a
   comment saying that they should not be directly called by NAND
   controller drivers
3/ Removing the prototypes from nand.h and defining them in nand_base.c
   (or in a private header).

Brian, Richard, Sascha, any comments?
