[ARM][collie][sa1100-flash] collie mtd fixes

Hello,

trying to revive the old Zaurus collie I've rebuilt the last known
working kernel 2.6.31 and the 3.8-rc5.

Apart other issues, all kernels are lacking mtd devices so I've
googled a bit and found:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2005-November/014273.html

Well, guided by those hints I ended up using a different erasesize

-ERASEINFO(0x40000,16),
+ERASEINFO(0x08000,128),

With the attached patches the mtd partitions are correctly detected as expected.
(Though, there is a warning...sa1100-0: Found different chip or no
chip at all (mfr 0xc, id 0x5) at 0x1000000)
As you can see in the 3.8-rc5 log attached, the cramfs partition is
detected and mounted, read only.

But when I try to ubiformat mtd2 it sorts out the flash is locked so I
tried to unlock the flash as suggested here

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2005-November/014300.html
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2005-November/014304.html

Unfortunately, no luck :/
This collie-mtd-rw.patch still applies with kernel 3.2 but as results
kernel stops booting :/

Testing with more recent kernels I get:
  sa1100-flash.c:121:13: error: 'struct mtd_info' has no member named 'unlock'

Now, what is exactly needed nowaday to unlock the flash?

Thanks all for your attention

Regards

Andrea
