I am working on a project that requires high reliability of logged data
which is written to a UBI file system on NAND. I have observed one
hardware failure mode at elevated temperatures where some chips report
that a write was successful even though a subsequent read indicates that
this was not true. To mitigate this I enabled
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE. Unfortunately I found this does not work
on sub-pages which are used by UBI. As a workaround I have forced UBI
not to use sub-pages, but I was curious if either there were plans to
add this feature, or if anyone was working on implementing it?
Regards,
Dave.

Yes, CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE is broken sub-pages for very long
time. I doubt anyone is fixing this, you have a chance to do this :-)
