yes, Intel P30.
The cfi_cmdset_0001 driver maps them like this:
0: offset=0x0,size=0x8000,blocks=4
1: offset=0x20000,size=0x20000,blocks=255
2: offset=0x2000000,size=0x8000,blocks=4
3: offset=0x2020000,size=0x20000,blocks=255
First, this map is wrong. 2: and 3: should be swapped, that is,
the small blocks should be at the end of the device.
the small blocks fits into a larger one so I should have no problem reading/writing
to such virtual block, but I don't think erase will work as JFFS2 will
only erase one of the small blocks instead of all 4. Maybe I am missing something?
