[PATCH] Fixup for Numonyx M29W128 chips

[Darius Augulis]

Hi,

I'm getting jffs2 errors after write to flash. I don't have the output 
log now, but the idea is that after write to flash, jffs2 does not find 
magic numbers anymore. File system is broken.
It's completely resolved when write buffers are not used. I could make 
patch which disables write buffer only for M29W128 chips. Anyway it's 
not working, one who needs more performace, is welcome to fix this in 
better way...

Darius.
