Let it this way, so all possible combinations are covered. Please do not
make it dependend on NAND_IS_AND, invent a new option like
BBT_AUTO_REFRESH or what ever nice symbol you imagine.

So in case other chips suffer from the same problem we have the solution
handy without touching the code. The trend is going to those multibit
cells so I expect this to be neccecary for other devices too.

Looks sane. You call this from the board driver I guess ?
