Hi, look here, the magic number 0x101831 vs 0x6101831, the difference is 
the highest bit(0 vs 6[0110])

and there, magic number 0x6100830 vs 0x6101831, the difference is lowest 
bit(0 vs 1).

So, I guess the crc error is caused by the similar reason, maybe there 
is something wrong with the nand driver or flash? According to the 
version information(5.15, and the unrelated commit 33fc9e26b7cb3), is it 
possible that there is a compatibility issue between your nand(bsp) 
driver with kernel nand common layer(which from different versions)?
