Comparing with 24nm SLC NAND, BENAND is few percent faster in write and
more than 5 percent faster in read. But the result depends on usecase
and compared device. I will delete the last sentence.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I would like to post the current driver first to make it open, then
consider how to apply his comments. Because I made a big mistake.

Oh!.. I will repost it.
