That's not surprising, this patch depends on "mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002:
Change definition naming to retry write" which did not apply cleanly on
4.17.

To be honest, I was not convinced those 2 patches deserved to be
backported to stable releases, but Joakim and Ikegami thought they were
good candidate. I'll let Ikegami propose a revised version of those 2
patches that apply cleanly on 4.17 if he wants.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Boris
