OK, i missed that. just change the code to issue a warning when
someone tries to use this option on a NAND device. something like
"--skip-erased: sorry, no support (yet) for NAND devices".
in looking at the original patch, i noticed something else ... dont
mix variable decls and code. i dont think mtd-utils has moved on to
newer C standards/styles yet and support that. for example, the
"ssize_t i" decl after a bunch of if statements.
