Now that the necessary peaces to support the NV-DDR interface type have been contributed, let's add the relevant logic to make use of it. In particular, the core does not choose the best SDR timings anymore but calls a more generic helper instead. This helper checks if NV-DDR is supported by trying to find the best NV-DDR supported mode through a logic very close to what is being done for SDR timings. If no NV-DDR mode in common between the NAND controller and the NAND chip is found, the core will fallback to SDR. Side note: theoretically, the data clock speed in NV-DDR mode 0 is slower than in SDR mode 5. In the situation where we would get a working NV-DDR mode 0, we could also try if SDR mode 5 is supported and eventually fallback to it in order to get the fastest possible throughput. However, in the field, it looks like most of the devices supporting NV-DDR avoid implementing the fastest SDR modes (like 4 and 5 EDO modes, which are a bit more complicated to handle than the other SDR modes). So, we will stick to the simplest logic: try NV-DDR otherwise fallback to SDR. If someone else experiences strong differences because of that we may still implement the logic defined above.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
