Does the datasheet say anything about what the ID data is supposed to
look like and how to interpret it? I tried to download it and Micron
shoved an NDA in my face.

What kind of chip is this? Is the datasheet publicly available?

These threads seem relevant:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/60042/
http://old.nabble.com/-U-Boot--Add-new-NAND-flash-td29858370.html

Does the chip support ONFI?
