Where does BFPT dword 11 reside inside SFDP?

Do we need a fixup to tell the erase die to be faster?

I haven't found the 'BFPT' term in the JEDEC spec.

Before erasing, did the flash contain 128MB of random data on your test?

On my tests, when the flash contains 128MB of random data, the first 
erase
takes 4 minutes. Subsequent erases take only 2 seconds.

Thanks
