It was more like a small debug value but I don't really care about it.

Parenthesis removed.

+1 for the artistic name :) -> renamed

Good point actually. While rewriting the function I figured out there
was no "reusable code" nor any "logicial split" with this do_mtd_io()
helper so I just moved the code from it into the main do_mtd(). If you
find it unclear please tell me where

Agreed.

Sure. Made a difference between read and dump.

Fixed as there is no more bounce buffer.

Ok.

Actually the logic above was broken in the sense that an 'mtd list'
was necessary prior to using any DM-compliant driven device.

Kind of, only one single page write with OOB at a time is possible
says a comment on mtd_oob_ops in mtd.h in Linux. Reads are actually not
limited. But I really prefer to keep this limitation that simplifies _a
lot_ the logic and is not really useful to a u-boot user I suppose.

Because the relevant patch (and its fix :) ) has not been backported
yet.

And now I understand your voice in my ears "do it".

I prefer .dontskipbad for the sake of clarity. Updated accordingly.


Also updated the code following Stefan comments: all the numbers
(addresses, lengths) are hexadecimal + creation of a dump command.

Thanks for the review!
