mtd: phram: Allow the user to set the erase page size.
Permit the user to specify the erase page size as a parameter. This solves two problems: - phram can access images made by mkfs.jffs2. mkfs.jffs2 won't create images with erase sizes less than 8KiB; many architectures define PAGE_SIZE as 4KiB. - Allows more effective use of small capacity devices. JFFS2 needs somewhere between 2 and 5 empty pages for garbage collection; and for an NVRAM part with only 32KiB of space, a smaller erase page allows much better utilization in applications where garbage collection is important.
