Hi Javier,

Well, the real reason is that the passed chipselect is wrong. Checking
in the configuration file, I see that the value to be passed should be
0x7300. I suppose (I am not testing) that "sf probe 0x7300" make sf
erase and sw write working.

I agree with the patch, but the description is wrong. Can you rewrite it
simply stating that the chipselect "1" is wrong and that it is not
strictly required (but again, is not forbidden) to pass it to sf probe ?
