Thank you, I was unaware of this config file approach. From a quick
look at doc/README.kwbimage it seems quite reasonable for
device-specific parameters.

In principle I agree. But practically speaking I see two problems:
1) mkimage already has far too many options
2) covering all possible vendor-specific values/encodings of NAND
parameters would be quite a task

So I am inclined to keep it simple for now, and try using a config file.
