You mean "embed a nand_data_interface object". Not sure the static
specifier can be used to describe what you do.

I know I'm the one who suggested to rename this function, but I'm not
so sure it's a good idea in the end, and I don't like the new prototype
where you drop the iface_type parameter.

Well, this is actually a good reason to keep the onfi_ prefix. A NAND
driver can decide that its NAND is close to an existing timing mode and
re-use this onfi_init_data_interface(), but maybe someday we'll have
drivers filling the nand_data_interface object with their own
(non-ONFI) timings.

It's not really a race, it's just that you need some timings during
NAND detection, and the core is currently creating the
nand_data_interface object after the detection step (in
nand_scan_tail()).

So now you're stuck in timing mode 0 as soon as you have nand_reset()
called.

Actually, what we should do is:

1/ at the beginning of nand_scan_ident(), call
   onfi_init_data_interface(chip, &chip->data_interface, NAND_SDR_IFACE, 0)
   (or a wrapper that does that) so that data_interface is initialized with
   the appropriate timings for reset/detection operations
2/ after detection, find the best iface type and timing mode we can use
   (what's currently done in nand_init_data_interface())
3/ in nand_reset(), you should save what's in chip->data_interface, in a
   local variable, then apply SDR+timing-mode-0 and finally restore the
   previous settings (the one you stored in your local variable) after
   the RESET op.

This way you're guaranteed to always end up with the best data iface
settings after a RESET.
