I don't think we want to assign chip->cmdfunc within the 'detect_onfi'
function. We already have several places from which the default
functions may be assigned. Rather, we should only code the above
statement *once* (where it already is, in nand_get_flash_type()) and
only run the extended parameter page function after that point.

If that's too cumbersome, then maybe it's fine as-is. Or I'll take a
crack at rewriting it myself.
