How would a driver determine the bank width automatically; is there some
obvious way a driver should do this based on the/a NAND specification?
Is there more than one way this auto-detection could occur, and if so,
which of those methods is this property indicating will work?
I'd rather expect the property description include details of the
auto-detection mechanism that the DT states will work.
