How to use EP8260 MTD device?

I tried with "*(volatile unsigned long long *)(0xFF000000 + 0x55 * 8)" and 
macro "writell", "readll" (same as *(volatile unsinged long long*)) I wrote.
But now I checked I can read/write flush rom with 16bit data access.
So I deleted the macro, now I'm using writel and readl...
