"... is to use the unprotected OOB area to store the cleanmarkers, so
that they can be written by the filesystem without caring much about
the page being empty or not: the ECC codes will not be written anyway."
?
JFFS2 is only useful on tiny NAND devices, where UBI does not fit,
which are usually true SLC flashes, with the capability of writing
a page with empty (0xFF) data, and still be able to write actual data
to it later in a second write.

The whole "if (oobbuf)" logic is nice to have, but should as well be in
a dedicated patch.

Why?
Also, maybe I should mention the helpers:
mtd_ooblayout_get_eccbytes and co
They are very useful to deal with OOB bytes. Everything seems extremely
hardcoded in this driver, while the user can tune read/write OOB
operations.

You should provide all the data including OOB bytes in a single write
call, otherwise you perform two writes on the same page, that's not
what this helper is expected to do.

In the standalone "read_oob" hook, you have to send a READ0 command,
but not when you are in the read_page hook. It is a big waste of time.

Actually if you define the right OOB layouts, are these really needed
?? I would expect the right bytes to be picked up by the default
implementation. I see nothing specific in your current implementation?
