[PATCH] [RESEND] mtd: docg4: fix status polling loop

[Mike Dunn]

The loop that polls the status register waiting for an operation to complete
foolishly bases the timeout simply on the number of loop iterations that have
ocurred.  When I increased the processor clock speed, timeouts started to appear
for long block erasure operations.  This patch measures the timeout using
jiffies.

This is a rework of an earlier patch, based on Artem's recommendation to use
jiffies, not udelay() (thanks Artem).  I didn't mark it 'v2' because the rework
makes the original name of the patch inaccurate, so now it has a different name.

This was originally sent a couple months ago... was probably a bad time.
