[PATCH] mtd-core: fix mtd erase operation for non-uniform flashes.

This patch supports the erasing of CFI flash with non-uniform sector.
When more than one erase region exists, the mtd_erasesize function
assigns the erase size of the sector to the erase_info structure.
The problem was discovered when erasing /dev/env0 on my PPC board.
This is a partition of size 0x8000 at offset 0 of a 32MB Intel compatible
flash with a bottom boot block i.e 4 32KB sectors followed by 255
128KB sectors.
barebox> unprotect /dev/env0
barebox> erase /dev/env0
cfi_erase: start = 0x0, end = 0x3, count = 0x20000
Flash erase error at address fe008000
Block Erase Error.
Block locked.
erase: I/O error
The error above is that a count of 0x20000 is passed instead of 0x8000
by mtd_op_erase. This is because the code does not take into account
multiple erase regions.
After taking into account the erase regions, only the first sector is
erased:
barebox> unprotect /dev/env0
barebox> erase /dev/env0
cfi_erase: start = 0x0, end = 0x0, count = 0x8000
