These three dashes are not needed.

Sorry for the ping-pong but actually, only the oob_buf and page_buf
have been introduced by the commit 5988af you point in the Fixes tag.

To help stable kernels maintainers I suggest you free the verify_buf
in a second patch which fixes:

4a8ce0b03071 mtd: onenand: allocate verify buffer in the core
