I'm sorry to say - I do not. The SoC this problem was initially noticed on can't run latest Linux,
and even if it did I have no way of acquiring an NV-DDR-capable flash.
Since Bootlin merged in NV-DDR support into the kernel, is it possible for you to test
the next iteration of this patch series on NV-DDR hardware as well?
Say, by purposefully preventing NV-DDR mode 5 from being chosen in anfc_setup_interface()?
