[PATCH] Bug in m25p80.c during whole-chip erase

There is a logic error in "whole chip erase" for the m25p80 family. If
the whole device is successfully erased, erase_chip() will return 0, and
the code will fall through to the "else" clause, and do sector-by-sector
erase in addition to the whole-chip erase. This patch corrects that.
Also, the MAX_READY_WAIT_COUNT is insufficient for an m25p16 connected
to a 400 MHz powerpc. Increasing it allows me to successfully program
the device on my board.
