If the chip supports JEDEC identification then it's supposedly
automatically configured.. sadly it seems most chineese tablets uses
non-JEDEC identified NAND chips.

If not then one need to go thru the manual process of finding the
datasheet and try to find needed parameters from there which means
opening the device to find the NAND chip model, search the Internet for
a datasheet (if lucky), or find something usable in the Allwinner
drivers if you can find usable source version.

Only if the datasheets lists usable identification strings, something
many get wrong even from well known NAND manufacturers.

General timing data should be correct, but... honestly I have even seen
page size and OOB size being specified wrongly in datasheets.

For many chips finding any reliable information is not easy.
