Porting to Intel P33 flash

There are two versions of P33 one has version of CFI 1.4 another version
1.5 

P33 with CFI 1.4 works Ok starting 2.6.17 
P33 with CFI 1.5 works Ok starting 2.6.24 

Since the difference between P33 with CFI 1.4 and P33 with CFI 1.5 are
minor applying the following very simple patch:
http://git.infradead.org/mtd-2.6.git?a=commitdiff;h=b1c9c9be6da010510459aca93f5754efb19695ff 
should solve the problem for linux >= 2.6.17.

Thanks,
Alexey
