You are right — the chipnr check should be common, irrespective of SDR 
or NVDDR.

Just to share some background on why I initially added the check only 
for NVDDR:
While enabling NVDDR support, I noticed that the setup_interface() 
callback is invoked once with chipnr = 0 for SDR, but twice for NVDDR — 
first with chipnr = -1 (NAND_DATA_IFACE_CHECK_ONLY) and then with chipnr 
= 0.
Because of this difference, I added the check only for the NVDDR path.

After your comment, I rechecked the NAND framework and realized that the 
behavior I observed occurs because NAND flash on my board supports NVDDR 
and the framework first checks for NVDDR mode, followed by SDR.

If the flash supports only SDR, the setup_interface() callback would 
also be called with chipnr = NAND_DATA_IFACE_CHECK_ONLY for SDR.

I’ll move the chipnr check before the if() in the v3 patch.

Thanks,
