Testing showed a small perfomance gain by using this ready pin to detect the NAND chip state. Here the values tested on Draco with Hynix 4GBit NAND:
Without NAND ready pin: U-Boot# time nand read 80400000 0 400000 NAND read: device 0 offset 0x0, size 0x400000 4194304 bytes read: OK time: 2.947 seconds, 2947 ticks With NAND ready pin: U-Boot# time nand read 80400000 0 400000 NAND read: device 0 offset 0x0, size 0x400000 4194304 bytes read: OK time: 2.795 seconds, 2795 ticks So an increase of approx. 5%.
