Do you have an example part number for which this patch is necessary?
I see that Micron MT29F8G08ABABA, for instance, has this ID, but
listing its ID in nand_ids.c is useless because there is no ID
decoding pattern for the rest of its ID string. AFAIK, all 0x38 chips
are ONFI-only and should not be included in nand_ids.c.

If we really want to add a line for the Micron MT29F8G08ABABA, 
The line should be like this, since we cannot detect the layout:

+	{"NAND 1GiB 3,3V 8-bit",	0x38, 4096, 1024, 0x80000, LP_OPTIONS | NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE},

But like Brian said, ONFI should be used, otherwise, any newer device with the same ID (0x38) will
Probably be detected with wrong settings.

Also note that this device must be used with at least 4 ECC bits/512 bytes.

This would give the wrong OOB-size, though, since this hard-coding
mechanism assumes that:
    mtd->oobsize = mtd->writesize / 32;
Thus, we get oobsize = 128 instead of oobsize = 224.

None exist that I know of for now but valid point.
