Subject: [PATCH] mtd: fix timeout in M25P80 driver
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:26:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090413142633.GA1560@sloth.localnet> (raw)

Extend erase timeout in M25P80 SPI Flash driver.

The M25P80 drivers fails erasing sectors on a M25P128 because the ready
wait timeout is too short. Change the timeout from a simple loop count to a
suitable number of seconds.
