Hm, I'm not entirely convinced considering version = 0 <=> version = 1
is the right thing to do. Clearly, we don't know if other chips are
also broken WRT version field but the actual version might differ.

I'd recommend letting the manufacturer driver fix the param page
instead of guessing what has to been done in the core. That means
adding a new hook to nand_manufacturer_ops (->fixup_onfi_param_page()?)
and calling it just after the CRC has been checked [1].
