Subject: [PATCH 9/9] MN10300: Fix MTD JEDEC probe so that the ASB2303 bootprom
	can be detected [2.6.24-rc3-mm1]

Fix MTD JEDEC probe so that the ASB2303 bootprom can be accessed.  This is
presumably required because the bootprom is normally write-protected and so
the normal flash probes don't work as they require the ability to write to the
flash to send it commands.

In the condition of the excluded if-statement, uaddr is 1.
