commit 45f75b8a919a4255f52df454f1ffdee0e42443b2 upstream. For the word write functions it is retried for error. But it is not implemented to retry for the erase functions. To make sure for the erase functions change to retry as same. This is needed to prevent the flash erase error caused only once. It was caused by the error case of chip_good() in the do_erase_oneblock(). Also it was confirmed on the MACRONIX flash device MX29GL512FHT2I-11G. But the error issue behavior is not able to reproduce at this moment. The flash controller is parallel Flash interface integrated on BCM53003.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
