[PATCH] mtd: AT49BV6416 has swapped erase regions

The CFI information read from AT49BV6416 lists the erase regions in the
wrong order, causing problems when trying to erase or update the first
or last 64K block.

Work around this by inverting the "top boot" flag, which will
effectively reverse the order of the erase regions.

This chip is obsolete, but it's used in some existing designs.

I'd like this fix to be applied before 2.6.27. However, it's not a big
deal since the affected regions are write protected on STK1000, which
is the only board I know that's affected by this.

This bug will hurt people who are un-protecting those sectors in order
to reflash the boot loader from Linux.
