Already it is possible to see and write in NAND memory from linux, I have left a small guide (in Spanish, use google translate) to be able to experiment with its use: Http://surfero.blogspot.com.es/2017/08/orange-pi-iot-2g-trabajar-con-la.html
At the moment it has not been able to make linux boot from nand but mount it. Everything has been made possible thanks to the work of the gitub aib user (https://github.com/aib)
