Thanks, I had completely overlooked that part.

OK.

OK.

I was worried there might be some bike-shedding :-)
Is this the right place to put it? And the right bit to use?
Would anyone care to suggest a good name?

I've thought of
NAND_DONT_SEND_RW_CMD
NAND_ZEALOUS_NFC
NAND_HIGH_LEVEL_NFC
NAND_HIGH_LEVEL_RW
NAND_COMPLEX_RW

Something else?

Regards.
