SPI flash will discard any write operation while it is busy with block erasing. As result bad block marker will not be writed to a flash. To fix it just wait for completion of erase operation. The erasing code is almost the same as in spinand_erase(). The only difference is: we ignore ERASE_FAILED status. This patch also improve error handling a bit.
