As told in my previous reply, I missed the above line.
However, after checking the code of the core (nand_base.c) I wonder if
it is useful to check for the second byte.
And if you look at the core's implementation you'll see that the offset
is not always 0 in the OOB but maybe 5 for small page NAND chips.
Please have a look to the generic implementation and tell me why this
is really needed?
Thanks,
Miquèl
