Looks like there were data on the flash chips before you started. Erase
them first. There's no utility to erase whole devices, but the 'erase'
program in the util/ directory will erase a single erase block at a time.
for a in `seq 0 131072 16777216` ; do mtd/util/erase /dev/mtd0 $a ; done
...or put a loop into the erase program. The MTDGETINFO ioctl should return
the size of the device.
