AFAIR, the NAND timing representation for non-ONFI chips question was
left unanswered:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/20/581

I can definitely respin my NAND timings series, but I'd like to be sure
this is how you want it done before doing so.

Just as a reminder, you and Jason thought NAND timings for non-ONFI
chips could be auto detected thanks to READID informations (by storing
some sort of "NANDID <-> timings" association table).

Best Regards,

Boris
