FYI, I do not like this patch, because it is not solving the problem, it
just makes the problem less likely. I.e., you are still screwed if you
reboot while some other task is doing erasure. Indeed, the background
thread is not the only task which may do erases.

I'm not going to revert this patch, but wanted to let you know that I
think it was my mistake to push it.


so, how to solve this properly ?

probably the only way is the reboot notifier of the MTD chip driver
(for NOR flash only cmdset_0001 has one).
