OK, I agree, will fix it in v2.

We had a case with Samsung K9K8G08U0E when sometimes (reasons not known) 
the 5th byte returned 0xff instead of correct values, all other returned 
values were correct. In this case the device booted successfully because 
of this hook. Maybe a better solution would be to check only the 5th 
byte for 0xff value (5th byte is not supported from all NAND vendors), 
if this is the case set the NAND size to 1GB.
Would that make more sense?

Yes, I agree, will fix it in v2.

Again, will fix it in v2.
