Did you really mean uint8_t *const buf? This means that buf will always
hold the same address (which is fine). But we don't often enshrine that
in the function definition.

Similar. Is it really important to mark size and offset const?

I won't argue, if you think this is deserving, but I don't want to
encourage this practice everywhere, since it doesn't buy us much.
(Declaring a pointer argument as, e.g., 'const int *var' is useful in an
API, because it helps a developer understand externally that the routine
will not (in the absence of unsafe casts) modify the buffer contents.
But declaring 'int *const var' is less helpful, as it is only useful for
local reasoning.)

You're repeating the common code in mtd_read(). Kill this
initialization.

Similar. You're duplicating the checks in mtd_read().

Ditto.

checkpatch.pl warns that you need parentheses around FLASH_PAGESIZE / 4.
