[PATCH] spi-nor: Port erase timeout fix from Linux

Sat Feb 6 20:04:22 PST 2016


Large SPI-NOR (>2MB) chips reuire more than 40 seconds to perform
all-chip erase. This patch adapts
09b6a377687b885565339e60bc62566433a0406f from Linux kernel, which
implements simple heuristics in order to calculate appropriate wait
time (see orignal commit's description for more details of the fix)
