The current code uses the @id to store the device id(byte 1).

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},
Do you know what is this chip?
this maybe not just a nand chip, it may stands for a class of nand chips.
Toshiba may uses this device id, Micron may also uses it.

In other word, this item may stands for many nand chips.
{"NAND 8GIB 3,3V 8-bit", 0xDE, 0, 8192, 0, LP_OPTIONS, 640}, //OOB
size is 640
So there are really 2 different chips with the same device id and
different OOB size? If you had 2 datasheets for me demonstrating this,
I'd be grateful.
Please see the http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/nand-data/nanddata.html
The ST's NAND08GW3B2C and Numonyx's NAND08GW3F2B share the same device id but with the
different oob size.

thanks
