[PATCH 2/2] drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c: Fix whole device erase

["Cédric Cano" <ccano@interfaceconcept.com>]

From: Cédric Cano <ccano@interfaceconcept.com>

There are two ways to erase SPI Flash devices: sector per sector or the 
entire Flash (used when MTD partition is the whole Flash).

When the whole Flash is erased, the SPI command is sent to the device 
and the erase function ends. Then, when another access (read, write or 
erase) is done, a  wait of busy is performed that fails because of Flash 
erase time (can be more than 30s in case of whole erase).

This patch removes chip erase and use only sector per sector erase to 
erase the chip. When erase is performed, Flash accesses can be done.
