The NAND controllers on certain legacy SoCs are not able to read the
ONFI parameter page, even if the flash device itself supports ONFI.
Consequently, heuristics or a lookup table would need to be used to
determine the device parameters.

Worst case, I guess the Micron ID decoding logic could just be moved
into the low-level driver.
