nor->write() simply adds the number of written bytes to the pointer given. Thus retval is incremented in each loop cycle for each spi_nor_write() call without ever resetting it. This leads to wrong page offset/remains calculations and an incorrect number of bytes written to retlen. This becomes apparant only if the calling function actually compares len and retlen (e.g. mtd_peb_write() ). Otherwise wrong data is written: $ memcpy -s /dev/prng -d prng_data 0 0 10k $ erase /dev/mtd0.mypart $ cp prng_data /dev/mtd0.mypart $ memcmp -s prng_data -d /dev/mtd0.mypart 0 0 memcmp returned "files differ" before, with this patch it returns "OK".
