Without the fix, flash_write_cfibuffer will return timeout error
instead of not-erased error when all bytes in the first word of
a sector are 0xFF and other words are not.

Hi "htbegin",

Please use your real name here in the s-o-b line.

I checked your patch, and it seems to me that you have spotted a problem. But 
your problem description above doesn't seem to be totally correct. From my 
understanding, the loop checking for not erased flash aborts directly once 
0xff is found. So that the check doesn't continue till the first non-0xff word 
as it should be.

Can you confirm this? Then please re-send you patch with a new patch 
description and a correct name in the Signed-off-by line.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
