Right, I always forget NAND_SUBPAGE_READ is an opt-in flag.

It should be. Note that ->hwctl() shouldn't be used by the core either,
so if the only user is the driver itself, it might be good to get rid of
the ecc->hwctl = omap_enable_hwecc_bch assignement and call
omap_enable_hwecc_bch() directly. Just suggesting that as a follow-up
patch, let's try to keep the fix as small as possible.
