I think I see the issue -- if NAND_CTRL_CHANGE is not set, it will reset 
IO_ADDR_W rather than leaving it alone.  There's also a bug for 64-bit 
platforms if I/O is over 4GiB, but that's not applicable here.

I was thinking more along the lines of:

unsigned long mask = 0;

if (ctrl & NAND_CLE)
	mask |= 2;
if (ctrl & NAND_ALE)
	mask |= 4;

...simple and symmetric.  But it doesn't matter overly much; keeping in 
sync with the Linux driver is more important.

ACK, though I would like to see the argument to writeb cast to a pointer 
before passing it (or else you'll get warnings if the accessor ever 
changes from a macro to an inline function).
