+ Bacem Daasi <Bacem.Daassi at spansion.com>
who was first to identify and root-cause the issue. So giving some credit to him..

>NAND_CMD_RNDOUT (05h-E0h) needs only two cycles of column address to access data
>from different column within the same page. So expected sequence on NAND data-bus is
>     <05h> <column-addr-byte1> <column-address-byte2> <E0h>

>The issue is mainly due to a NAND protocol violation in the omap driver since
>the Random Data Output command (05h-E0h) expects to see only the column address
>that should be addressed within the already loaded read page into the read
>buffer. Only 2 address cycles with ALE active should be provided between the
>05h and E0h commands. The Page read command expects the full address footprint
>(2bytes for column address + 3bytes for row address), but once the page is
>loaded into the read buffer, Random Data Output should be used with only 2bytes
>for column address.
