From 6822a647b94cb05869231251e5a29f9742bb3ce2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Hershberger Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2012 15:36:40 -0500 Subject: cfi: Check for blank before erase Added an optional check in the CFI driver to evaluate if the sector is already blank before issuing an erase command. Improves erase time by over a factor of 10 if already blank.
