I do not think you need to store the full array of ID's. Device ID's for
all the 4 of above chips are different, which is enough to distinguish
between them.

The only thing you need to add is the OOB size field to 'struct
nand_flash_dev'.

If i only add the oob size field. There will be two items with the same Device ID in nand_flash_ids table,
one has oob_size, one does not have. such as:

{"NAND 8GIB 3,3V 8-bit", 0xDE, 0, 8192, 0, LP_OPTIONS},
{"NAND 8GIB 3,3V 8-bit", 0xDE, 0, 8192, 0, LP_OPTIONS, 640}, //OOB size is 640.


How can i distinguish them? In which case, i choose the item with the oob_size, and in which case, i choose
the item without the oobsize?

thanks
