The patch fixes CFI issue with multipartitional devices leading to the
set of errors or even deadlock. The problem is CFI FL_SYNCING state race
with flash operations (e.g. erase suspend). It is reproduced by running
intensive writes on one JFFS2 partition and simultaneously performing
mount/unmount cycle on another partition of the same chip.

Timeouts are currently given by the typical operation time times 8.
It works in the general well-behaved case but not when an erase block is
failing. For erase operations, it seems that a failing erase block will
keep the device state machine in erasing state until the vendor
specified maximum timeout period has passed. By this time the driver
would have long since timed out, left erasing state and attempted
further operations which all fail. This patch implements timeouts using
values from the CFI Query structure when available.
The patch also sets a longer timeout for locking operations. The current
value used for locking/unlocking given by 1000000/HZ microseconds is too
short for devices like J3 and J5 Strataflash which have a typical clear
lock-bits time of 0.5 seconds.

Existing CFI driver has problems with excessive writes during erase.
If CFI driver does many writes during one erase cycle we may face the
messages with -ETIMEO error on erase operation. It may cause the
following data corruption and kernel panics.
The reason of the issue is related to specifics of suspend operation:
if we write to flash during erase, suspend operation will cost some time
to erase procedure (for P30 it could be significant). In current version of
cfi driver the problem of many suspends is partially workarounded by adding
some time reserv to any operation (8xerase_time) but if we have many writes
during one erase the problem appears.
This patch detects the suspend and resets timer if suspend occured. It
has been well verified on different chips. No problems were found.
Could you please include the patch as it is simple and fixes bad issue.

THe CFI driver in 2.6.24 kernel is broken. Not so intensive read/write
operations cause incomplete writes which lead to kernel panics in JFFS2.
We investigated the issue - it is caused by bug in FL_SHUTDOWN parsing code.
Sometimes chip returns -EIO as if it is in FL_SHUTDOWN state when it should
wait in FL_PONT (error in order of conditions).
The following patch fixes the bug in state parsing code of CFI. Also I've
added comments to notify developers if they want to add new case in future.

Patch for unlocking all Intel flash that has instant locking on power up.
The patch has been tested on Intel M18, P30 and J3D Strata Flash.
1. The automatic unlocking can be disabled for a particular partition
in the map or the command line.
a. For the bit mask in the map it should look like:
.mask_flags = MTD_POWERUP_LOCK,
b. For the command line parsing it should look like:
mtdparts=0x80000(bootloader)lk
2. This will only unlock parts with instant individual block locking.
Intel parts with legacy unlocking will not be unlocked.

The bug causes corruptions of data read from flash.
The original code performs cache invalidation from "adr" to "adr + len"
in do_write_buffer(). Since len and adr could be updated in the code
before invalidation - it causes improper setting of cache invalidation
regions.

while running stress tests we have met cfi_cmdset_0001.c driver issue.
Working on multipartitional devices with erase suspend on write
feature enabled it is possible to get erase operation invoked on chip
with suspended erase. get_chip() looses information about earlier
suspended erase and new erase operation gets issued. New erase
operations report successful completion, but blocks remain dirty
causing, for example, JFFS2 error messages like:
...
Newly-erased block contained word 0x20031985 at offset 0x00200000
Newly-erased block contained word 0x20031985 at offset 0x00280000
Newly-erased block contained word 0x20031985 at offset 0x00240000
...

The CFI probe routine is capable of detecting flash banks consisting of
identical chips mapped to physically discontiguous addresses. (One
common way this can occur is if a flash bank is populated with chips of
less capacity than the hardware was designed to support.) The CFI
point() routine currently ignores any such gaps. This patch fixes
the CFI point() routine so that it truncates any request that would
span a gap.
