NAND programming bug in Linux 2.6.8?

Hmm. I could swear that I have seen it at least once since my NAND model
complained about it but now I can't repeat it.

Ok, good! My Samsung datasheet (K9F2816U0C) is very vague on this point. In
the programming examples for the 16 bit device only READ0 and READ_OOB is
mentioned (while for the 8-bits device READ1 is also mentioned).

You clarification make my patch pointless, so just ignore it and I update my
NAND flash model instead.

Thanks!
