It's really a good question. 

This modification should probably work on other i.MX25 boards, because it relaxes the timing while accessing the NAND flash. But unfortunately I haven't other i.MX25 boards on which I can verify this modification.  Do you have other modules to validate this modification?

Cordially,

Daniel
