On some NAND devices (e.g. Hynix H27U2G8F2CTR-BI on Siemens DXR2 /
Draco boards) the NAND subsystem (SPL & U-Boot drivers) issues the following
bit-flip error messages:

nand: bit-flip corrected @oob=0
...

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>

Though most NAND Devices mentioned above tend to work even if extra cycles of
page-address is issued between <05h> .... <E0h> command. But Spansion devices
break on this non-compliance.
This patch fixes chip->cmdfunc() for all devices, as datasheet of all mentioned
vendor expect same sequence.

The same issue has been reported by Bacem Daassi:

"
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.
