   4 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Disable buffered writes for AMD chip
   5  0x2201
   6
   7 Buffer writes do not work with AMD chip 0x2201. The chip in question
   8 is a AMD/Spansion/Cypress Semiconductor S29GL256N and datasheet [1]
   9 talks about writing buffers being possible. While waiting for a neater
  10 solution resort to writing word-sized chunks only.
  11
  12 Without the patch kernel logs will be flooded with entries like below:
  13
  14 jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): End of filesystem marker found at 0x0
  15 jffs2_build_filesystem(): unlocking the mtd device...
  16 done.
