Comment out the conditional statement. David Woodhouse explained that
the only reason for this check is that NFTL formatting with the other
erase block sizes is not tested.

I encountered the same with an M-Sys-pre-formatted DOC chip. It seems
that the existing MTD code will work only after re-formatting the chip
with the nftl_format. Correct me if I am wrong.

Shouldn't take much to make that format work with our NFTL code. Again,
it's disabled mostly because it's not tested.

That's it. Thanks.
Not that one case is a test, but I was able to nftl_format my DOC with erase
size 0x4000.

2 quick problems:
nftl_format gives error
Erase size not 8Kb - I'm confused
loading nftl module gives error
Sorry, we don't support UnitSizeFactor of != 1 yet.
Could not find valid boot record
Could not mount NFTL device
Somehow these seem related to me. Any suggestions?
