Well, I well answer the question myself, after I review the code.
U-boot supports this feature around since 2008-12, but it just supports EBS for NOR flash. NAND flash EBS is still not supported yet.
I think it's more important for NAND flash, for NAND reading-cycle consumes more time as far as I know.
