Intel and Sharp flash power on with their blocks in a "locked" state.
Unlocked them before attempting to perform an erase or write action and
relock when the action is complete.
The flash commands and responses are little-endian and have to be
byte swapped on big-endian systems. However the raw read of data
need not be swapped.
Make the cfi_read and cfi_write do the swapping, and provide a
cfi_read_raw which does not byte swap for reading data from
flash.
o add CFI_SUPPORT_STRATAFLASH compile option to enable support
o add new ioctls to get/set the factory and user/oem segments of the PR
and to get/set Protection Lock Register that fuses the user segment
o add #defines for bits in the status register
o update cfi_wait_ready to take an offset so it can be used to wait for
PR write completion and replace constants w/ symbolic names
Note: writing the user segment isn't correct; committing now to get review.

Memory Interface (CFI). The flash memory can be read and written
to through /dev/cfi# and an ioctl() exists so processes can read
the query information.
The driver supports the AMD and Intel command set, though only
the AMD command has been tested.
