RNDOUT is already used by nand_flash_detect_ext_param_page(), so this
isn't as much of a concern for ONFI, but it could be an issue with
nand_flash_detect_jedec().

Then how will it work on controllers like eLBC/IFC which is the whole
point?

RNDOUT needs to come before read_buf() and it needs to specify the
offset you want.
