OK, I looked at the datasheet and erase_sector_39sf020() is totally and
completely wrong. It was a straight cut'n'paste from SST 28SF040 code
and the person doing the cut'n'paste didn't even bother to check the
data sheet. The SST 39SF020 is completely incompatible with the 28SF040.

Can I have an Ack for dropping that code?
