The current code is tested only for 512byte page size NAND devices. Very 
likely it needs some changes for 2k devices. Especially the ECC stuff will 
need some changes.

CFG_NAND_PAGE_SIZE defines the number of pages per block. For example a 
64MByte NAND chips has a page size of 512 bytes and a block size of 16kbytes. 
This makes 16k/512 == 32.
