Hello Masahiro,

I remember having issues reading the ONFI ID when I was writing
the driver, a year ago. Sometimes, the first few bytes appeared
to be missing. This looked like a timing issue.

Adding the dev_ready call-back solved the problem. Do you think
that was by accident? When I have more time, I will test the 4.14
branch, to see if there are any issues with the current driver.

Regards.
