commit 5da39530d19946f6241de84d1db69da2f5c61da7 upstream.
The nand_read_data_op() operation, which only consists in DATA_IN
cycles, is sadly not supported by all controllers despite being very
basic. The core, for some time, supposed all drivers would support
it. An improvement to this situation for supporting more constrained
controller added a check to verify if the operation was supported before
attempting it by running the function with the check_only boolean set
first, and then possibly falling back to another (possibly slightly less
optimized) alternative.
An even newer addition moved that check very early and probe time, in
order to perform the check only once. The content of the operation was
not so important, as long as the controller driver would tell whether
such operation on the NAND bus would be possible or not. In practice, no
buffer was provided (no fake buffer or whatever) as it is anyway not
relevant for the "check_only" condition. Unfortunately, early in the
function, there is an if statement verifying that the input parameters
are right for normal use, making the early check always unsuccessful.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
