Wrong cache invalidation in cfi_cmdset0001.c (2.6.21 kernel)

[Massimo CIRILLO <massimo.cirillo@st.com>]

We found an issue in cfi_cmdset0001.c file of 2.6.21 kernel.
It is related to cache region invalidation in the buffered
write procedure.

The original code performs cache invalidation from "adr" to "adr + len" in
do_write_buffer() while we modify region from "cmd_adr" to "len2" 
where len2 is equal to initial value of len.

The following is the patch to apply for 2.6.21 kernel.

In any case we believe this patch should be valid also for the 2.6.22 and 2.6.23 kernel.

Looking forward feedbacks.
