Sorry for bugging you (Artem, mtd Maintainers) again, but I would really 
like to get this patchset ([a], [b]) and the OTP support for 
cfi_cmdset_0002.c into mainline. Please have a look at the patches and just 
tell me if the changes in them are acceptable, or if I should rather post 
the OTP support without these two patches. Once I have your answer, I will 
respin these patches and my OTP patches, test them again, and submit them. 
But without your help I cannot continue.

Thank you very much!
