| NAND_CMD_RNDOUT sometimes doesn't produce quite the right data.

| A quick work-around is to always set "gaps" in nand_read_subpage.
| That way, it always reads the whole OOB data.

If your further checking doesn't invalidate it, and if you don't track
the underlying thing in the meanwhile please post the gaps band-aid, and
we'll have that until something better comes.
