Just a heads-up for those similarly banging their heads trying to get
NAND to work for them, that I think I've also found 2 instances of a
bug:  not waiting tWB before calling nand_wait_ready() in nand_base.c

   nand_do_read_ops()
   nand_do_read_oob()

I almost think the ndelay(tWB) should be in nand_wait_ready(), but I'm
still playing with it.
