That might be a hardware bug then :(

I can't reproduce it on ar7240 and I don't have ar7242 routers.
You could try adding some delays in ath79-spi driver around those
bit-bang operations or reducing spi clock.

If none of these works we may have to use gpio bit-bang driver for ar7242
instead, which will make performance worse.
Or we could implement old flash read using spimem api as a workaround.

Correct. You could take a look at spi-nor driver and you'll find that these
compatible strings aren't really used.
