are you sure the i.MX27's NAND controler supports 4k NAND ?

 From the Reference Manual is only support 512 & 2k :
The NFC interfaces standard NAND Flash devices to the IC and hides the 
complexities of accessing the NAND Flash. It provides a glueless 
interface to both 8-bit and 16-bit NAND Flash parts with page sizes
of 512 bytes or 2 Kbytes, and densities up to 64 Gbits per 2-Kbyte page 
size NAND Flash, and 8 Gbits per 512 byte page size NAND Flash.

There is no mention of 4k NAND and the NFC's RAM buffer is only 2k + 64 
which may be not enough for 4k NAND (the v2 NFC has 4k + 512 and support 
4k).
