This means your driver does not support sub-pages, but reports it does.
You should either fix sub-page support or do not report it is present.

There are good NANDtests available at

git://git.infradead.org/~ahunter/nand-tests.git
(http://git.infradead.org/?p=users/ahunter/nand-tests.git;a=summary)


Try them to make sure your NAND driver is all-right. Well, you may want
to avoid the torture test, but it is also very useful to run it with
limited amount of erase cycles to make sure your flash/driver survive
really high I/O load.
