I expect all OneNAND support multiblock erase, so the config should
go away. Kyungmin can probably comment on that.
Waiting for multiblock-erase, you should probably spin, not use the
interrupt line. You should change the wait function in
onenand_base and omap2.c.
You should handle multiple multiblock erases.
You should check for bad blocks *before* doing command 0x95
Waiting for erase-verify, you should probably spin too.
