Actually I was wrong, the sunxi and the cadence IP have nothing in common.
This was pointed out by Henrik (see this thread :
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/linux-sunxi/nand/linux-sunxi/x69tFBi95Zk/bNyJlWWOV8oJ 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21searchin/linux-sunxi/nand/linux-sunxi/x69tFBi95Zk/bNyJlWWOV8oJ>).


Sorry for the false hopes.
