The decode size is board specific and independent of the board write
enable function. We could have renamed this function to
it8705f_write_enable_2e_can_only_decode_256k (IMHO ugly) because the old
name doesn't match the new contents. Instead, we created two different
board specific entries.

If you prefer the long alternative name, get Uwe to agree and send a
patch. I won't object and I'm not willing to start a flamewar over this.
There's too much work to do to to risk a bad mood for any of the developers.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
