(resend as plaintext)A bit of an update. The ubifs failure is from the is_empty() check in get_master_node(). It looks like portions of the LEB are 0 instead of 0xff. I've also found if I avoid use the non-DMA path in my driver I don't have such a problem. I think there is at least one problem in my driver because I don't handle DMAing more than 0xffff bytes.
Hi,
I recently added support for the SPI-NAND controller on the RTL9302C SoC[1]. I did most of the work against Linux 6.11 and it's working fine there. I recently rebased against the tip of Linus's tree (6.12-rc5) and found I was getting ubifs errors when mounting:

git bisect lead me to commit 11813857864f ("mtd: spi-nand: macronix: Continuous read support"). Reverting the blamed commit from 6.12-rc5 seems to avoid the problem. The flash chip on my board is a MX30LF2G28AD-TI. I'm not sure if there is a problem with 11813857864f or with my spi-mem driver that is exposed after support for continuous read is enabled.
Thanks,
Chris
