I found specs for a flash with sequential page-crossing reads. My
code does not handle that but neither does current svn AFAICT. The
masking is wrong, we'll always end up at page 1.

AFAIK noserial reads are for preparing copyback writes. Random reads are
for random access within the page register.
I'll try to fix and test the page-crossing seqreads.
Thanks alot for the comments.
Hi,
I'm just wondering what is the status of this patch; It has definitely
solved one of my problems, where a NAND flash controller I'm emulating sends
random read commands to an emulated large page device.
