Thanks for debugging that.

Hm, it looks like there's a bug somewhere else, because I don't see any
reason why the controller wouldn't be able to read the full OOB region.

The whole point of this series is to get rid of chip->ecc.layout, so
we'd rather use the mtd_ooblayout_find_eccregion() instead of
chip->ecc.layout->eccpos[0].

Can you print the ->oobsize, ->writesize, chip->ecc.layout->eccpos[0]
and chip->ecc.total values here. I'll also need your NAND page layout
(page size and OOB size provided in the datasheet).

Thanks,

Boris
