Currently, it first reads the last codeword which includes old OOB bytes. Then it updates the old OOB bytes with new one and then again writes the codeword back. The reading codeword is unnecessary since all the other bytes should be 0xff only. This patch removes the read part and updates the oob bytes with all other data bytes as 0xff.
