And I think it's valid to release the CE pin between
read_param_page_op() (CMD(0xEC)+ADDR(0x0)) and read_data_op() (data
cycles) if your chip is CE-dont-care compliant. So, either you have a
problem with your controller driver (CS-related timings are incorrect)
or your chip is not CE-dont-care compliant.
