For the following combinations

---             ----                    ----     --      ---- ---

I do have one platform that passes the initial detection but starts to 
report ubifs errors when mounted.

Armada-98DX4251 Micron MT29F8G08ABACAWP 1024 MiB 256 KiB 4096 224

This is probably unrelated to this particular fix. It may be as simple 
as something not catering for the Armada-98DX4251 SoC or a genuine 
difference between Armada-98DX4251 and Armada-385. 4.16.4 with 
pxa3xx_nand works with this combination.
