[PATCH v3 0/2] mtd: rawnand: vf610_nfc: fix reads on chips with more than 64 bytes of OOB

[Mehmet Fide]

From: Mehmet Fide <mehmet.fide at screeningeagle.com>

The driver only implements the 64-byte OOB format the controller
transfers, so chips with a larger OOB (the Colibri VF61's MX30LF4G28AC
has 112 bytes) stopped working when nanddev_init() began restoring
mtd->oobsize after ->attach_chip(): the parity moved and every
ECC-protected read failed, including the BBT and everything UBI needs.

The detected OOB size stays, the driver gets its own mtd_ooblayout_ops
computed on the first 64 OOB bytes, and the data paths keep
transferring exactly those 64 spare bytes, so the on-flash format stays
identical to U-Boot and to the kernels that clamped.

v3 addresses Miquel's review and the confirmed finding from the Sashiko
report: ECC page reads now fill the tail of oob_poi with 0xff, since
mtd->oobsize bytes of it may reach userspace while only 64 are
transferred. Retested on both boards. Colibri VF61 (112 bytes of OOB):
BBT found and read clean, UBI attaches and the UBIFS root mounts, 8 MiB
write/read-back intact, and OOB reads return 0xff in the 48 bytes past
the transferred area on every page sampled (6000+ pages, written and
erased). Colibri VF50 (64-byte chip, tail fill is a no-op): layout
unchanged, corrected counter stays zero across a full dump.
