Again, I might be mistaken, but it seems that the "is_power_of_2" would 
weed out ONFI 1.0, since val would be simply 1 << 1, i.e., val == 2. 
Really, it seems that the ONFI version number may or may not be a power 
of two. If so, then we should just check individual bits as performed in 
the other tests (and perhaps include a test to be sure "val & 1 == 0")

Thanks for the tip. It worked for me.
