I see. In fact I saw your earlier debug log with ll_op cmd dump for the 
nand_get_features function and they went through successfully.  Really 
strange how this function call will cause problem to subsequent nand read.

Can you keep this code commented out and then after the board boot up 
and manually write to nand controller register for these ll_op cmd 
sequence following the code of brcmnand_low_level_op,  assuming you have 
a way to write to controller registering from a shell.   If not,  you 
might have to hack the brcmnand or base nand driver code and insert 
following call at some special condition at run time:
ret = nand_get_features(chip, ONFI_FEATURE_ADDR_MXIC_PROTECTION,
				feature);
Then check if nand read function still works.  At least we can confirm 
if feature query function actually cause the problem.  You can try 
different feature code and see if it make any difference.

Question to Jaime,  if PT pin is not connected,  would the PT feature 
check cause any issue afterwards? Or the nand chip should just return 
block not protected?
