So then we want 1536 bytes, not 768 (or 786) if we go with the simple
fix?

Correcting.  Perhaps it's working because it's reporting an
uncorrectable error (thus not correcting anything) and you're ignoring
it?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

You won't be holding CS that long.  It will drop as soon as the current
operation completes.  And I'm not interested in a solution that only
works in U-Boot's single-tasking environment, given that this code is
more or less shared with Linux.

I don't see what the objection is to adding a replaceable read_param()
method that is not so hostile to high-level controllers.
