Right.  Basically when Thayne was working on cfi_cmdset_0002 we got it stable
for the chips we care about.  But the code was so ugly someone rewrote the
code.  There were other priorities at the time so we have not been able to
get back and fix things up.

The primary thing was that the check that the written data is was what
we actually tried to write was removed.
