Are erase suspends possible?

That's for power management.

You should not be looking in there. You should be calling the mtd->read(),
mtd->write() and mtd->erase() functions. The latter is already permitted to 
return immediately, calling a caller-provided callback later on completion.

The read function already suspends active erases to fulfil the read 
request. You can easily make the write function do the same, on chips that 
support it.
