NOR: invalidate cached state on target resume
The NOR infrastructure caches some per-sector state, but it's not used much ... because the cache is not trustworthy. This patch addresses one part of that problem, by ensuring that state cached by NOR drivers gets invalidated once we resume the target -- since targets may then modify sectors. Now if we see sector protection or erase status marked as anything other than "unknown", we should be able to rely on that as being accurate. (That is ... if we assume the drivers initialize and update this state correctly.) Another part of that problem is that the cached state isn't much used (being unreliable, it would have been unsafe). Those issues can be addressed in later patches. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>
