Could you send a patch (both here and Linux)?  Especially since you have
a test case. :-)

Though a better fix than just increasing the byte count would be to add
a read_id() callback so that the NAND subsystem can actually tell the
driver how much data it's expecting, rather than forcing it to go
through cmdfunc that makes high-level drivers (poorly) emulate
low-level hardware.

At least IFC will have the same issue.
