fix for small jffs2 disks(resend)

[Øyvind Harboe]

With this patch, it is possible to write to small (e.g. single sector)
flash disks.

Single sector flash disks are useful for writing configuration data that
never change, e.g. in embedded devices for serial numbers, hardware
configuration, feature selection and the like.

It has been applied to the eCos repository. To read more:
