Ah, I see. OK, with clock-idle off nandwrite didn't corrupt ubi/ubifs
but the kernel still wouldn't boot:

NAND Flash Reading
dst base address          = 0x30100000
Source start block number = 20
Source size  (0x4000*n)   = 0x180000
status 1
## Booting image at 30100000 ...
Bad Magic Number
status -1
