I guess this is possible, but what worries me more is that the longer 
the patch is not pushed, the higher the chance somebody to end-up with 
broken rootfs. Wouldn't it be better to push it, thus preventing that 
happening?

BTW the differences for N9/50 come from ONENAND_SYS_CFG1_HF bit and 
ONENAND_SYS_CFG1_BRL_6 vs ONENAND_SYS_CFG1_BRL_4. Both are changed 
(later in the code) anyway, so I guess it is safe to reset them to 
default values.

Or, maybe the correct fix is to issue RESET command to onenand 
controller after GPMC reset? RESET command is supposed to put all the 
bits to their default values.
