Although OneNAND uses NAND core internally, the interface is very different
from NAND. The viewpoint of the hardware it seems to be connected with NOR.
Also OneNAND supports synchronous burst read as NOR does
I wonder the different interface of flash putting together is accptable?

Currently, I don't apply bad block table code to onenand. But I think
there's no problem to use current bbt code.
