Yes, Our controller driver will take care of these byte striping.

Yes, only pnode_sz and ltab_sz are odd values

And MTD info, here are my logs
In Single Flash mode:
Mtd->erasesize = 64KiB
Mtd->size = 64MiB
Mtd->numeraseregions = 0
Nor->pagesize = 256

In Dual parallel mode:
Mtd->erasesize = 128KiB
Mtd->size = 128MiB
Mtd->numeraseregions = 0
Nor->pagesize = 512

Thanks,
Naga Sureshkumar Relli
