This ordering looks a bit problematic, will onfi_get_async_timing_mode
ever return anything other than ONFI_TIMING_MODE_UNKNOWN if it is
called before nand_scan_ident ? What sets clk_rate to non-zero if there
is no DT property?

For a flow that uses onfi_get_async_timing_mode rather than DT the
driver should set the interface to timing mode 0 (slowest) and then
call nand_scan_ident, and then reset the interface to the detected
timing mode.

Maybe this should be implemented in the core code through a new
callback (nand->set_timing_mode ?)
