Now, we still have the open question of whether we can autodetect timing modes easily for non-ONFI chips. > > Indeed, I based it on the ONFI NAND timings mode model, but AFAIK > > (tell me if I'm wrong), it should work because most of the timings > > are min requirements.

I believe so. FYI, despite the name of the binding, we are mostly interested in non-ONFI NAND here.
