MTD fixes for 3.9

This fixes a couple of problems. Firstly, some people are actually still
 using old small-page flash and we broke it by removing the ready check.
 
 Secondly. fix the handling of partitions on Broadcom 47xx devices.
 Recent changes had made it misdetect the location of the NVRAM and
 scribble over the bootloader when it tried to update the variables there.
 With predictably sad results.
