(I misremembered NAND_MEMORG() fields, the 256 is indeed the OOB area
size as you pointed out; the erase blocks were already correct at 64
pages = 256KB so while the settings were wrong this might actually not
be visible at all in quick testing; sorry)

Ok, let me do some slightly more thorough checks and clean up a bit and
I'll send a v2 later this week/early next week

The continuous read feature also definitely is interesting to me and
I'll be testing it later, but it's "just" a performance improvement so
I'll be taking a bit longer; I'll come back with either a patch or
questions hopefully by next month ish

Thanks,
