That's why I created an indirection on chip->data_interface.
nand_get_interface_cfg() is here for that -> the drivers do not care
about which one is applied. I don't think we need more than I already
proposed:
-> there is one default reset configuration object that can be used by
   anyone
-> there is a best configuration

If the best configuration has been derived, then it will be used.
Otherwise, the helper will fallback to the default slower one, and this
covers all the cases :)

Fine.
