Hello,

I have tested this series on:
mx66u51235f OK
mt25qu01g OK(1)
s25fs512s FAILED(2)

(1) - There is a problem with Die Erase command. There is no 4byte version. I workarounded it by enabling 4byte mode before send, and disabled just after.
Resigning from Die Erase is bad idea because of erase speed. Having stateless mode is also bad, so some better idea that my workaround could be nice.
(2) - Totally failed because this chip does not support 64KiB sectors, but still reports that command for erasing that kind of sector is available,
moreover it is the same as command for erasing 256KiB sector. Solution for this, and for other flash could be that preferred sector size
is a parameter for spi-nor framework.

My tests covers my use case of mtd/spi-nor framework (ubi, ubifs and jffs2 + some regression).

Some small comments in patches.

Thanks,
Marcin
