Some flash's do not support buffer writes, so we now check
they are supported before trying to use them.

The existing code used incorrect timeout values for the various cfi
operations. We now calculate the timeouts and convert to
msecs if necessary.

If flash chip is not listed in the table, or if no flash is
connected, pointer must be properly initialized.

flash programming via flash write_image or gdb load would
produce a bogus error message that the flash chip was to
small.
The solution is to limit the current flash programming
run to the current chip.

SMI interface hides the real SPI bus between SPEAr and
external flash.
Added comments to highlight the SPI operation, to help a
future rework in SPI generic and SPEAr specific drivers.

Add comments to assembly flash loader for STM32. Add tiny improvement in
size of the algorithm (40 vs 48 bytes) and tiny speed improvement (~1.5%,
as time is wasted on waiting for end of operation anyway).

for non_cfi cfi chips free() was invoked on rodata.

sizeof() is a bit less scary than seing assumption
about size of type, no bug as such.
Use NULL instead of 0 for pointers. More obvious that
it is a pointer from code inspection.

Someone called David Carne popped up on IRC and offered a fix (as he's not
on this list so can;t post here). I am just passing it on. (thanx David)
10:54 < davidc__> Basically; the Numonyx M29W160ET has an incorrect CFI PRI
block; it describes the erase blocks backwards
10:54 < davidc__> the linked patch has a fixup for that part [really trivial]:
The patch improves flash erase for STR9x in case of a full bank erase.
Then the chip erase command is used instead which improves speed significantly.
Also I think it might help if e.g. STR912 enters some state where flash banks are locked, and a chip erase command is the key for unlocking the flash.
