Hmm, are all 4 required in this order? What if I want to set the timeout
without the erasesize or name? I suppose it's not a requirement for this
patch, but it's probably not hard to handle that as a future
enhancement. e.g. block2mtd=<dev[,[<erasesize>][,[<name>][,<timeout>]]]
so I could do

	block2mtd=/dev/mmcblk0p2,,,4

to set the timeout to 4 seconds.

Maybe use ARRAY_SIZE(token)?

Hmm, so it's too long, but you continue? Shouldn't we return here?

Again, shouldn't we return here? It's best not to just ignore invalid
input.
