We shouldn't be relying on the bootloader to provide a sane value here
-- the bootloader may not have used/initialized NAND at all.

It's sort of OK for ECCM, since unless you're trying to match an
externally programmed flash, or the bootloader uses the flash, all we
really care about is that the value stay consistent.  The timeout, OTOH,
must not be set too low or things won't work.

We should just set a value that we believe to be high enough for all uses.
