This "force read-only" doesn't happen with v3.6.
This looks to me the NAND database uses a wrong block size for this NAND
device. This device has 128 kiB block sizes. So, a 512 kiB partition
*is* block aligned.
Maybe you should take a look into the generic code, what block size the
3.7-rc1 uses for this NAND.
Thanks a lot for these pointers. I've found that the commit causing this
regression is this one:

mtd: nand: detect Samsung K9GBG08U0A, K9GAG08U0F ID
Datasheets for the following Samsung NAND parts (both MLC and SLC)
describe
extensions to the Samsung 6-byte extended ID decoding table:
K9GBG08U0A (MLC, 6-byte ID)
K9GAG08U0F (MLC, 6-byte ID)
K9FAG08U0M (SLC, 6-byte ID)
The table found in K9GAG08U0F, p.44, contains a superset of the
information
found in other previous datasheets.
This patch adds support for all of these chips, with 512B and 640B
OOB sizes.
It also changes the detection pattern such that this table applies
to all
Samsung 6-byte ID NAND, not just MLC. This is safe, according to
the NAND
parameter data I have collected:
Note that nand_base.c does not yet support the bad block marker
scheme defined
for these chips (i.e., scan 1st and last page for BB markers).

When I revert it the crash is gone and everything works well. The Flash
chip is K9F1G08U0C and according to the datasheet it has 5 byte ID.
However nand_id_len() returns 6 and id_data[] is: ec, f1, 00, 95, 40, ec.
I've found a mail thread where similar issue has been discussed [1]. It
seems
the mentioned chunk in commit
"mtd: nand: add generic READ ID length calculation functions"
is missing. Still it doesn't fix the problem for me.

With this change erasesize looks still incorrectly calculated (4 MB):
nand_decode_ext_id:3089 mtd writesize: 4096, oobsize: 128, erasesize:
4194304
writesize also seems wrong, according to the datasheet it is 2 KB.
It looks like this Flash really needs to have id_len = 5 assigned, when
I forced it:
nand_decode_ext_id:3090 mtd writesize: 2048, oobsize: 64, erasesize: 131072
everything looks as specified in the datasheet.
The following change eliminates the problem for this particular chip,
however it will likely break others.
