Hi Miquel, small update, I found some details from @Liang's message in v1 talks from the last month:

*
After sending NAND_CMD_READ0, address, NAND_CMD_READSTART and read status(NAND_CMD_STATUS = 0x70) commands, it should send
NAND_CMD_READ0 command for exiting the read status mode from the datasheet from NAND device. but previous meson_nfc_queue_rb()
only checks the Ready/Busy pin and it doesn't send read status(NAND_CMD_STATUS = 0x70) command.
i think there is something wrong with the Ready/Busy pin(please check the hardware whether this
Ready/Busy pin is connected with SOC) or the source code. i have the board without Ready/Busy pin and prefer to use the
nfc command called RB_IO6. it sends NAND_CMD_STATUS command and checks bit6 of the status register of NAND device from the
data bus and generate IRQ if ready.
*

I guess, that sequence of commands from this patch is described in datasheet (unfortunately I don't have it and relied on the old driver).
Yesterday I tried to remove sending of NAND_CMD_STATUS from this patch, but it broke current driver - i had ECC errors, so it looks like
"shot in the dark" situation, to understand this logic.

Thanks, Arseniy
