I was thinking read_param() would take the offset as a parameter and use
NAND_CMD_RNDOUT to skip ahead -- but that would change the default flow
which I'd rather avoid. Another option is that read_param() just sets
up the read for the specified number of bytes, but the caller still uses
read_byte() to extract the data. This way the code could specify
sizeof(struct)*3 as the size up front without needing three separate
buffers.
Note that whatever gets done should first be accepted in Linux, rather
than being a local U-Boot change. If you want a short-term fix, just
stick 1536 in the eLBC driver.

You're looking at old code. It uses read_byte() now.

I don't want "if (chip->read_param)" all over the place; there should be
a default read_param() that does what the existing code does.

This isn't going to read the second or third copy; it's going to read
the first copy and write beyond the end of your buffer.
