Yes, but Aníbal is talking about OMAP-L138 which is actually a DaVinci
part and uses drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c

May be you can clarify whether absence of subpage support will lead to
the kind of errors Aníbal reported?

Also, the subject talks about JFFS2. There is no known affect of absence
of subpage support on JFFS2, right?

Thanks,
