Well, it's a good start, but I'd like to have something that works even
for non-ONFI chips. How about adding a field in nand_chip and filling
this field when the ONFI param page is retrieved/parsed. This way we
can easily extend the implementation for full-id entries in the
nand_ids table or for JEDEC compliant chips (assuming the JEDEC
standard provides such information).
