Thanks for the quick response!  I'm also looking at
the  sheet.
I am using 1.68. (last modified 04/21, by thayne.  =])

As far as we can tell, it looks like the erase
operation completes correctly, and we start reading
the flash again, getting the erased value of 0xffff.
(It is in 16-bit wide mode)

The 'ones' variable that it compares the read values
to is only an 8-bit 0xff.  I traced this back a
little,  (the CMD macro in include/linux/mtd/cfi.h and
the function right above it) and it keeps it as 8-bit
even if it knows that it's x16.

Should it be masking off only the lowest byte?
