Actually I'm not so sure about this patch. While passing the pico-second 
value for tPROG_max is clearly wrong and leads to seemingly indefinite 
hangs on some systems. Converting the times to micro-seconds leaves us 
with delays that are far too short.

The old pxa3xx driver had hard coded 200ms delays. These delays now work 
out to 1ms which seems every bit as wrong as 600000000ms.
