Well with this only patch correct working of nandc on ipq806x is
restored. I'm still very confused how since the misc command currently
works only with the PROGRAM_PAGE and the BLOCK_ERASE (from ERASE1 and
ERASE2)

Still the extra read was added with no explaination and I couldn't find
this command cycle in any of the previous legacy function and the one
introduced after the parser rework.
