So, the only thing that you'll re-use by falling through the next case
is the '->options |= ONENAND_HAS_UNLOCK_ALL' operation. I find it easier
to follow with an explicit copy of this line + a break.

This fall through certainly doesn't make sense, as the only thing that
might be done in the 1Gb case is conditionally adding the
HAS_UNLOCK_ALL flag, and this flag is already unconditionally set.
Please add a break here.
