Oh, I guess I made a mistake. It looks like that reserving _{read|write}_oob is a better method in my limited knowledge to nand driver. For example, nand_do_read_oob() behaves different from nand_do_read_ops(), and calling which function is decided by mtd_oob_ops.databuf.
Callback _read_oobs() can support both functions, but callback _read() don't support nand_do_read_oob(). So mtd_read_oobs() covers mtd_read()?
Is my understand right?
