NAND: There are also 512B 4-plane and 2KB 4-plane

In my understand, If we use the 2x program, we assume physical 2 blcoks to logical 1 block in JFFS2 or others.
Since "2x program" writes each bufferram to each block instead of same block.
So if we assume 4KiB page, we programe block 0, page 0 and block 1, page 0, In my opinion, it's not fit for JFFS2.
