I share you opinion.

For what it's worth, I have tried this on an ARM-based guest running
Linux and it fixed my problem. Note that this (emulated) board
integrates a fairly evolved NAND flash controller that takes over most
flash device operations. The accesses made to the emulated NAND flash
device are then not necessarily the same as would have been done by the
stock MTD subsystem.
Also tested with u-boot integrating a dumbed-down version of the
aforementioned driver.
