<content type='text'>
After writing to a Dataflash page, the built-in compare operation is
used to check that the page was successfully written.  A logic bug in
checking the results of the comparison currently causes the compare to
never fail.

This bug was originally in the legacy at91_dataflash.c driver.

The MTD DataFlash driver uses a semaphore as mutex.  Use the mutex API instead
of the (binary) semaphore.

Return a fault code if the Dataflash driver runs into a "no device present"
error when the MISO line has a pulldown (it currently expects a pullup), so
that rmmod won't oops.

<title>[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls</title>

Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

<content type='text'>
Fix a bug in the block-erase optimization for Dataflash; it was using block
erase even for smaller segments that need page erase.

That wouldn't matter for JFFS2, which never erases less than one block
(sometimes several blocks), but for other callers it might.

This collects some small SPI patches that seem to be missing from the MM tree:

  - spi_butterfly kbuild hooks got dropped somehow; this restores them
  - quick fix for a (theoretical?) m25p80_write() oops noted by Andrew
  - quick fix for a potential config-specific oops for mtd_dataflash()
  - minor doc tweaks
