Could it be that the NAND is stuck expecting a read 0x00 command which
isn’t sent after getting the features?

Yes, this was just to prove that the HW I’m using has get/set features support.
I’m using OpenWrt, so it’s linux v5.15 driver.

Yes, I think that this is a side effect (maybe a different bug somewhere else).

Maybe it has a GPIO controlling that, but I don’t have that info…
