Yeah, I know you did.
The thing is we can continue adding crap code, just because
it was like that before, but that is not a good argument.
Instead, IMO, if you need to touch that code, make an effort and
clean this at least a bit and then add a clean version of the code.
I think it worked like this at least last year.

> Also note that, in case of OMAP3/AM37x we have POP package where NAND/OneNAND part is fixed, so it makes sense to bring here.

No, not really, because, there are other packages besides POP,
and information on them should come from the board.

What can be done is, move the NOR information to a separate function/file
so it can be reused by all boards, but the board gets to decide
whether to use this or may be some other setting.

Also, are you certain that POP package will always have the same
parts on top of the SoC, because the pin out can stay the same, but
timing information can vary and that's where you need that separation.

Good, we have an agreement ;)
