Hi Jörn,

You probably mean the "Intel Sibley NOR".
Yes, the concept is same. It want to use write buffer but oob in NAND.
I hope to modify the code with small modification to work the MLC NAND.
As written in previous mail, we only update the mtd->flags and sub
page value at driver level.

Thank you,
