-5 is EIO, Input/output error. UBI tries to write 512 bytes, which is
one subpage, to offset 512 (i.e., it writes the second subpage). And
the MTD layer returns 512. So the issue is somewhere below UBI.

Possibly, your flash does not support sub-pages, but it declares that
it does. You should look at your MTD driver. The other possibility is
to force UBI not to use subpages.

UBI attaches the volume in R/O mode, because of the write error.
UBI tries to be nice to you, and instead of totally refusing the
MTD device, it attaches it R/O.
