Here the description from Brian Brelsford <Brian_Brelsford@dell.com>:
The Hynix part returns a 0x1d in the 4th ID byte. The Samsung part
returns a 0x15. In the code fragment below bits [1:0] determine the
page size, it is ANDed via "(extid & 0x3)" then shifted out. The
next field is also ANDed with 0x3. However this is a one bit field
as defined in the Hynix and Samsung parts in the 4th ID byte that
determins the oobsize, not a two bit field. It works on Samsung as
bits[3:2] are 01. However for the Hynix there is a 11 in these two
bits, so the oob size gets messed up.
I checked the correct linux code and the suggested fix from Brian is
also available in the linux nand mtd driver.

Two fixes for the nand_wait() function in
drivers/nand/nand_base.c:
1. Use correct timeouts. The original timeouts in Linux
source are 400ms and 20ms not 40s and 20s
2. Return correct error value in case of timeout. 0 is
interpreted as OK.

This patch addresses a problem when CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE is
defined
and the write crosses a block boundary. The pointer to the verification
buffer (bufstart) is not being updated to reflect the starting of the
new
block so the verification of the second block fails.
CHANGELOG:
* Fix NAND FLASH page verification across block boundaries
chpart, nboot and NAND subsystem related commands now accept also partition
name to specify offset.

- JFFS2 related commands implemented in mtd-utils style
- Support for bad blocks
- Bad block testing commands
- NAND lock commands

Patch by Guido Classen, 10 Oct 2006
Modifications are based on the linux kernel approach and
support two use cases:
1) Add O= to the make command line
'make O=/tmp/build all'
2) Set environement variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'make'
The second approach can also be used with a MAKEALL script
'export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build'
'./MAKEALL'
Command line 'O=' setting overrides BUILD_DIR environent variable.
When none of the above methods is used the local build is performed and
the object files are placed in the source directory.
* For READ_STATUS and READID commands always 8 bytes need to be read from
NDDB. Otherwise they stay there and get send to flash as the first data
word when writing.
* In nand_base.c the oob variable is not reset so this->oob_buf is
overwritten what eventually screws up the bad block descriptor table.
code and in SoC code). Boards using the old way have CFG_NAND_LEGACY and
BOARDLIBS = drivers/nand_legacy/libnand_legacy.a added. Build breakage for
NETTA.ERR and NETTA_ISDN - will go away when the new NAND support is
implemented for these boards.
