Sorry, but I don't think that's the right solution. When I said we
should have ONFI code shared I was thinking about the code that parses
the ONFI struct/data to extract nand_memory_organization bits or other
generic info, not something that would abstract how to retrieve the
ONFI param page. Clearly, the generic NAND layer is not supposed to
handle such protocol/low-level details.

Boris
