They're not busted, just annoying. I happen to think the designers were on
crack, but the chips are still usable, even though their CFI tables are
crap. Even if we have to hard-code a table of chip ID vs. erase block
layout, they're usable - unless they've really gone mad and shipped chips
with the _same_ JEDEC ID but different layouts.
