mtd: CFI cmdset_0002: enable erase-suspend-program
Erase-suspend for writing is required to avoid blocking applications
that wish to write some data (to a NOR block other than the one being
erased). Particularly, it solves some huge delays that an application
(which writes to a UBIFS) will experience if UBI attaches to empty NOR
flash. In this case the UBI background thread will erase a lot of blocks
and the application can be blocked for minutes because of the "MTD/CFI
chip lock".
This feature has been disabled for years. Maybe this was because the old
code turned it on for erase-suspend read-only chips also
(cfip->EraseSuspend & 0x1). This is wrong and corrected now.
This patch was tweaked by Norbert van Bolhuis.
