During my reasearch regarding the HW ECC and HW randomizer of the Allwinner
NAND flash controller I found this document describing the Altera NAND 
flash controller
(which is in turn based on a cadence IP):

http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/arria-v/av_54010.pdf

This really looks like the sunxi NAND flash controller (except for the 
registers positions
and contents) ;-)
