Actually if you use Don't Care CS NAND chips you should not need the
force CS bit, as it is mentioned in the guidelines you pointed, this
bit is only useful for *not* don't care CS NAND chips (and the name
"force CS" is pretty straight forward too!).

Otherwise what bootloader and kernel do you use to have this
bit set by default? You may also want to check if this bit is set by
your bootloader by stopping it before it loads Linux and check manually
the value of this bit with 'md' (on U-Boot).

Thank you,
