Sorry for this mistake.
I recognized this after sending out the patches.

"Continuous Read" is the new feature added by the Micron for 
M70A series devices. If this feature is enabled, the READ command 
doesn't output the OOB area. The following short description
describes this feature.

Description:
If the Continuous Read feature is enabled, the device provides 
the capability to read the whole block with a single command.
However, the read command doesn't output the OOB area.

Read command behavior (if Continuous Read enabled):
The READ CACHE command doesn't require the starting column address.
The device always output the data starting from the first column of the
cache register, and once the end of the cache register reached, the data
output continues through the next page. With the continuous read mode,
it is possible to read out the entire block using a single READ command, and
once the end of the block reached, the output pins become High-Z state.

This is not a bug fix and applicable only to M70A series devices, there is no
need to backport.
(FYI, the previously enabled device was M79A series)

Okay, I will explain in my next version.
