devmem from busybox seems to work better. At least it delivers real
values and not 0x0 as devmem2 does. Anyway the value doesn't change
and looks as configured via resistors:

# devmem 0x44E10040 32
0x00400304

I wonder, where can I issue NAND reset from userspace? This is one of
the commands the kernel does during the initialization.
