Running the ONFI detection on non-ONFI NAND should not, ideally, be a
problem. They should fail one or both tests included in the routine: the
'O N F I' string check or the CRC calculation.

There are many chips whose ID might be in the NAND table but for which
it is preferable (or even required) to check by ONFI for one reason or
another. For instance, some ONFI chips might use odd-sized OOB that
isn't in the ID decoding algorithm.
The current `||` check is, I think, designed to weed out old small-page
NAND only, which define both 'name' and 'pagesize' in the table.
So in short: the current code works as intended.
