So does mvebu's NAND driver..

What I ment was you could have a

onfi,nand-timing-mode = 0

in the DT. Each of the modes defines all ~19 parameters, higher modes
are faster.

Pick a mode value that fits all the parameters of the connected
non-ONFI flash.

This would be instead of defining each parameter
individually.. Provide some helpers to convert from a onfi mode number
to all the onfi defined timing parameters so that drivers can
configure the HW..
