Just like other NAND controllers, the NAND READID command only works
in 8bit mode for all versions of BRCMNAND controller.

This patch forces 8bit mode for each NAND CS in brcmnand_init_cs()
before doing nand_scan_ident() to ensure that BRCMNAND controller
is in 8bit mode when NAND READID command is issued.

^^ That part isn't strictly true. While READ ID data only comes out on
the lower 8 bits, that doesn't *actually* mean you can't get valid data
from a 16-bit bus in general; you just have to drop the upper 8 bits. That's
what these two commits did for read ID and parameter page read commands:

    mtd: nand: force NAND_CMD_READID onto 8-bit bus

    mtd: nand: don't use read_buf for 8-bit ONFI transfers

But I presume *this* statement is actually true. This NAND controller doesn't
exactly give us a fully-flexible READID / read_byte / read_word command, as it
works at a higher level than that (although LOW_LEVEL_OP gives us this
flexibility now). I could imagine (though I never tested 16-bit NAND) that
16-bit READID is broken.

BTW, did you ask the HW designer about this? It'd be nice to be 100% sure.

Anyway, as I noted on the cover letter, I've pushed this patch.

Thanks,
Brian

Yes, we had a discussed with HW designers and they confirmed
that READID command will only work in 8bit mode.
