Given this a second thought. I don't think a NAND driver is allowed to return
less than requests bytes and setting EBADMSG.
UBI's IO path has a comment on that:

/*
* The driver should never return -EBADMSG if it failed to read
* all the requested data. But some buggy drivers might do
* this, so we change it to -EIO.
*/
if (read != len && mtd_is_eccerr(err)) {
ubi_assert(0);
err = -EIO;
}
Interesting. Shall we add this check to the mtd_read() path as well?

Maybe with a WARN_ON()?
WARN_ON_ONCE(), please. But yes, let's add it.
Zhaolong, can you take care of it?

Yes!That is a good idea, and I am pleased to do this.
