cfi: Check for blank before erase
Added an optional check in the CFI driver to evaluate if the sector is already blank before issuing an erase command. Improves erase time by over a factor of 10 if already blank. Signed-off-by: Joe Hershberger <joe.hershberger@ni.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>
