ONFI 4GB and beyond NAND support

[Blair Barnett <bbarnett@nethra.us.com>]

I have two questions for the MTD gang, but couldn't find the answer in 
the archives, nor elsewhere on the web.

1. What's the plan, if any, for the MTD NAND layer to support the ONFI 
standard?
2. What's the plan, if any, for the MTD NAND layer to support 4 GB NANDs 
(and greater)?

The two questions could be linked, as we're looking at Micron 4 GB, 8 GB 
and 16 GB MLC parts that support the ONFI standard, that we'd like to 
use on a board that my company is building.

I've hacked support for the 4 GB part by having the MTD layer recognize 
it as 4 GB - 1 erase block, which gets it inside the uint32_t limit. 
That hack won't really work for 8 GB and beyond. I'd certainly be 
willing to help with the design review and coding if I had a clue what 
folks were thinking.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!
