NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0x45 (Samsung NAND 32MiB
1,8V 16-bit)

using omap-nand-flash.c driver from OMAP community tree 
linux-omap-2.6.git at source.mvista.com (which is slated for sending to 
linux-mtd after conversion of board specifics to LDM platform device stuff).

OK, this is pretty unexpected, so I'll try harder to figure out where it 
goes wrong or whether I've got another board that it affects (a 
colleague reported some new bad blocks messages after upgrading to the 
same software on a different board, will see if there's a similar 
situation).

d'oh!  Thanks,
