since you can probe the chip ONFI timings, why are you doing that ?
on a general standpoint, why would you ever want to run with whatever
the bootloader left in registers if you have full knowledge to reprogram
them in the kernel ?
from a testability point this is horrible,
users get the classic answer to bug reports, "the problem must be coming
from your bootloader, try upgrading it"
the 'B' in BIOS stands for buggy
