Actually I started to work on a generic solution parsing the DT and
creating CS, WP and RB gpios when they are provided, but I think it's a
bit more complicated than just moving the rb-gpios parsing into
nand_dt_init().
First you'll need something to store your gpio_desc pointers, which
means you'll have to allocate a table of gpio_desc pointers (or a table
of struct embedding a gpio_desc pointer).
The other blocking point is that when nand_scan_ident() is called, the
caller is supposed to have filled the ->dev_ready() or ->waitfunc()
fields, and to choose how to implement it he may need to know
which kind of RB handler should be used (this is the case in the sunxi
driver, where the user can either use a GPIO or native R/B pin directly
connected to the controller).

All this makes me think that maybe nand_dt_init() should be called
separately or in a different helper (nand_init() ?) taking care of the
basic nand_chip initializations/allocations without interacting with
the NAND itself.

Another solution would be to add an ->init() function to nand_chip
and call it after the generic initialization has been done (but before
NAND chip detection). This way the NAND controller driver could adapt
some fields and parse controller specific properties.

What do you think?

Best Regards,

Boris
