Subject: [PATCH] mtd: chips: cfi_cmdset_0001: Disable erase and write suspend for Intel flash.

From: Steve Shih <sshih@...co.com>

Some revisions of the P30, P33, and J3 Flash memory devices can hang
when an ERASE SUSPEND command is issued following an ERASE RESUME
without waiting for the minimum delay time to elapse. The result
is that when the ERASE appears to be complete (no bits are toggling),
the contents of the Flash memory block on which the ERASE was executing
could be inconsstent with the expected values (typically, the array
value is stuck to the 0xC0, 0xC4, 0x80, or 0x84 values). This cause
ERASE operation to fail.

Please refer to Micron Technical Note TN-12-06:
Adapting the Linux Kernel for P30, P33, and J3 Flash
