I am copying from NAND to RAM and using CFG_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART. I have
never
tried using the direct NAND functions. They were added after 1.1.0 so I
had to copy to RAM.

I have a 2MiB boot partition that is copied to RAM. It takes too long to
read
the entire NAND FLASH (one of our products has 128MiB). It is faster to
load
the kernel from a RAM copy, otherwise the entire kernel is read twice
from NAND,
once for the initial scan and again for the load.
