I am currently grappling with this issue with my driver for the diskonchip G4,
which is an MLC nand under the hood, but has a proprietary controller around it
which doesn't interact as a "typical" NAND device.  Specific to this topic, it
doesn't respond to NAND_READID commands.  My solution was to skip the call to
nand_scan_ident(), which calls nand_get_flash_type().  Instead, I do all the
initializations done by nand_get_flash_type() within my driver. 

Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
