I agree with you that outside of reference boards, these flash settings
will vary, however, Broadcom reference boards tend to follow the same
design from one chip/board to another, so instead of replicating 4 times
the same DT snippet in Device Tree, we could come up with differerent
sets of include files which abstract commonly found NAND flash types and
properties. Code might talk better, so I will try to submit something
that illustrates what I have in mind.
Thanks!
