nxt200x: increase write buffer size

The buffer size on nxt200x is not enough:

	...

Increase it to 256 bytes.

After applying your patch to 3.12.7 (from the git tag) the firmware
loads without any warnings, and the card operates normally.  I think
that did the trick.

Thanks for the prompt response!
