Would be nice if you tried my patch and confirmed it works, because I
did not test it.

From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
Subject: [PATCH] nandwrite: correct data reading

The "read" syscall does not necessarily return all the requested
data, in which case the caller has to try again and read more.
Take this into account when reading input data.

I've tried the patch with the latest git version of mtd-utils and I
confirm that it works on ARM at91sam9260 board.
Thanks!
