NO.

I have Hynix nand in my hand: H27UBG8T2A (page size :8192, oob:448).
It is not an ONFI nand.


But it accidentally can pass the ONFI detection, and get the result : 
page size 4192, oob:96. This is a wrong result.

This nand is 32Gb, but we can not parse it out from the id.
I ever want to add a new database which use the all the 8/6 bytes id as key.
It seems it's time to change it now.
