cfi erase command hangs up when erase and read contention occurs.
If read runs at the same address as erase operation, read issues
Erase-Suspend via get_chip() and the erase goes into sleep in wait queue.
But in this case, read operation exits by time-out without waking it up.

I think the other variants (0001, 0020 and lpddr) have the same problem too.
Tested and verified the patch only on CFI-0002 flash, though.

When initializing mtd->writebufsize, we must take into account
possible flash chip interleaving. Wrong writebufsize initialization
caused UBIFS recovery issues resulting in unmountable UBIFS file
system on NOR flash partitions.

The use of a memcpy() during a spinlock operation will cause very long
thread context switch delays if the flash chip bandwidth is low and the
data to be copied large, because a spinlock will disable preemption.

For example: A flash with 6,5 MB/s bandwidth will cause under ubifs,
which request sometimes 128 KiB (the flash erase size), a preemption delay of
20 milliseconds. High priority threads will not be served during this
time, regardless whether this threads access the flash or not. This behavior
breaks real time.

The patch changes all the use of spin_lock operations for xxxx->mutex
into mutex operations, which is exact what the name says and means.

I have checked the code of the drivers and there is no use of atomic
pathes like interrupt or timers. The mtdoops facility will also not be used
by this drivers. So it is dave to replace the spin_lock against mutex.

There is no performance regression since the mutex is normally not
acquired.

MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size.  This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged.  Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons.  First, no one
needs it at the moment.  Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated.  Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.

Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.

In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
    	- printk message formats
    	- division and modulus of 64-bit values
    	- NAND base support
	- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
	- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
	in MEMERASE ioctl

Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS.

This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS
keywords from the MTD code.

This also includes code that printed them to the user.
