Ok, sounds good too.

What I meant here, is that you could use a for loop to repeat 4 times the same 
following pattern, such that it becomes:

for (j = 0; j < 4; j++0 {
	temp += len;
	offset = info->ecclayout->oobfree[j].offset;
	len = info->ecclayout->oobfree[j].length;
	memcpy(chip->oobbuf + temp,
		chip->buf + info->page_main_size + offset, len);
}

Or even make it a helper function which is inlined if that is deemed more 
elegant.
