I just realized that going back to timing mode 0 is not needed if your
chip is not ONFI or JEDEC compliant. But that's not really an issue.

This implementation is assuming the chip is either ONFI compliant or
not compliant with JEDEC and ONFI, but JEDEC chips also provides
'timing modes', except it's called 'speed grades'. Not sure how they
match to the ONFI timing modes, and I'm definitely not asking you to
support that right now, but that would be good to split the different
cases (ONFI compliant, JEDEC compliant and not compliant with JEDEC or
ONFI) in different functions.

Those functions would just fill in the nand_data_interface object, and 
nand_setup_data_interface() (or nand_select_data_interface(), if we
decide to split the logic in 2 different functions as suggested below)
would call one of them depending on the ->{jedec,onfo}_version values.

The data interface config selection only has to be done once: when you
discover/init the chip...

... but the setup will be done each time you reset the chip.

Maybe that's what you were trying to explain me yesterday.

Anyway, I really think we should keep the default/best data interface
config in nand_chip so that we can later re-use it without have to go
through the supported timing detection logic.

I'd like to keep the current data_iface config in nand_chip. Just in
case we need to expose this information through debugfs.
