That helps. The QEMU emulation always returns 0x0001 when reading gpmc register
0x54, which suggests that WAIT0STATUS reports as 0.

Well enough for it to at least find the NAND chip.

So the qemu "fix" was to return 0x0101 instead of 0x0001 when reading gpmc
register 0x54.

Now I get "INFO: suspicious RCU usage" on reboot, but that is a separate issue.

Thanks a lot for the hints!
