I believe I made a serious mistake, re-reading the code it feels like
I'm changing the system's clock (which basically changes nothing in our
case) instead of changing the NAND bus clock.

Please create a two-patch series:
1- Setting the right clock in the current code base (inverting bus_clk
and controller_clk where relevant, setting one to 100MHz and letting
the other as it is)
2- Changing the default NV-DDR rate based on tCK (below patch).

Do you have the necessary hardware for testing?
