Subject: Re: [PATCH] mtd : add init_size hook for NAND driver

Hi Artem:
    I think the new patch is better.

The new patch will reuse the id_data.
Even if the additional id byte does not have all the information in
some case, but other infomation such as manufacture id and device id
are also useful to the NAND driver.

Best regards
Huang Shijie
