   4 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: AMD chip 0x2201 - write words
   5
   6 Buffer writes do not work with AMD chip 0x2201. The chip in question
   7 is a AMD/Spansion/Cypress Semiconductor S29GL256N and datasheet [1]
   8 talks about writing buffers being possible. While waiting for a neater
   9 solution resort to writing word-sized chunks only.

  11 Without the patch kernel logs will be flooded with entries like below:

  15 done.
