After removing #define it works, but only without
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_OMAP_PREFETCH. With prefetch enabled, sub-page reads
return ECC errors, for example:

nanddump -p -l 1024 -s 512 /dev/mtd3
ECC: 3 uncorrectable bitflip(s) at offset 0x00000200

nanddump -p -l 1024 -s 0 /dev/mtd3
nanddump -p -l 1024 -s 1024 /dev/mtd3
works ok.

Sub-pages need to be working for UBI, my NAND partitions are formatted
with UBIFS.
