ack. The issue is the 'read cache' logic present in the vendor sdk codebase I
added in the upstream driver is buggy and it is introducing errors reported
by mtd_oobtest kernel test module. Since we do not get any read/write speed
improvement using the cache, in order to fix the mtd_oobtest test, I decided
to get rid of the 'read cache' since it is not useful. Now the driver is passing
all the tests available in mtd_test suite.
Do you want me to repost just this patch updating the commit log?

Regards,
Lorenzo
