Hi Matthias,

Can't we fix the implementation to determine at runtime how many
sectors the flash has instead of changing MAX_SECTORS value every time
a new flash comes in?
This would also have the benefit of keeping the ppb_lock array
(allocated in cfi_ppb_unlock()) small on setup that have a flash with a
limited number of sectors.

Regards,

Boris
