I think not.

The problem is : we can not know which nand_flash_dev item we should use
when the same Device ID occurs.
When we meet a nand whose Device ID is 0xDE, the current code will
select the first one:
{"NAND 8GIB 3,3V 8-bit", 0xDE, 0, 8192, 0, LP_OPTIONS, 0}

Could you tell me how can we choose the seconde one? The second same
device-id item is
{"NAND 8GIB 3,3V 8-bit", 0xDE, 0, 8192, 0, LP_OPTIONS, 640}

thanks
