I have found my original problem.

The 
   do_write_oneword 
routine in 
  cfi_cmdset_0002.c 

was being given values for datum wider than the 16 bits
we are allowed to write to the device.
The readback being limited to 16 bits, of course , failed to match


The data was being given to do_write_oneword by gc.c 

Here is the error output

Last[3] is 66, datum is 8000066 addr 3028c
Write of 49 bytes at 0x00030264 failed. returned -5, retlen 40
jffs2_write_dirent in garbage_collect_dirent failed: -5

As you can see 8000066 is impossible to write to a 16 bit device.



I put an extra check on the word size in do_write_oneword and the error just went away.
