No. What does a "normal" "nand read" return when reading this complete 
partition into RAM? On PPC4xx it returned -117 here. I fixed it with the 
already posted patches for the 4xx NDFC ECC byte ordering. Perhaps the TQM8548 
has similar incompatibility issues with the Linux kernel here too?

Best regards,
Stefan
