Comment(by hailfinger):
Yes, patch 582 is just a part of the solution, but I think it is a
prerequisite to solve this completely. The idea behind patch 582 is to
annotate struct flashchip with erase granularity (separate patch!) and use
that info and patch 582 to determine whether we need an erase or not.
The removal of unconditional erase is halfway done. A few chips remain,
but Sean Nelson is tackling them right now.
