If i only add the oob size field. There will be two items with the same 
Device ID in nand_flash_ids table,
one has oob_size, one does not have. such as:

    {"NAND 8GIB 3,3V 8-bit", 0xDE, 0, 8192, 0, LP_OPTIONS},
    {"NAND 8GIB 3,3V 8-bit", 0xDE, 0, 8192, 0, LP_OPTIONS, 640},   //OOB 
size is 640.


How can i distinguish them? In which case, i choose the item with the 
oob_size, and in which case, i choose
the item without the oobsize?

thanks
