I have a technical question. Do you understand why the Linux NAND FSL UPM 
driver needs polling the R/B pin when writing out a sequence of bytes:

static void fun_write_buf(struct mtd_info *mtd, const uint8_t *buf, int len)
{
	struct fsl_upm_nand *fun = to_fsl_upm_nand(mtd);
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
		out_8(fun->chip.IO_ADDR_W, buf[i]);
		fun_wait_rnb(fun);
	}
}

We do not need that in the corresponding U-Boot driver. On my board (not 
having the R/B pin connected) I need a small delay of approx. 100 ns
instead to get it working properly.

Wolfgang.
