[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] mtd, cfi, ubi: add missing writebufsize initialization

ff94bc40af3481d47546595ba73c136de6af6929 "mtd, ubi, ubifs: resync with Linux-3.14" introduced the writebufsize field in struct mtd_info, which is not initialized in the cfi_flash driver, which leads in not working ubi on cfi flashes. Fix it

Sorry I didn't see this patch up front!
My only nit-pick is that this is effectively ignoring the write buffer present on many (most? all?) NOR flashes since this field is supposed to be the maximum write buffer size, not the minimum write buffer size (judging by its user ubifs and associated comments). As such, this really should be fi->buffer_size IMO, not mtd->writesize (i.e. 1). But, the only user of this field seems to be ubifs (not even ubi) for writes so I'm just not sure it really matters.
Cheers, Andy
