I'm aware of the upstream fix, but some Youku-YK1 users have reported
their routers cannot survive a reboot on kernel 5.4, but are fine on
4.14 (with the mx25l25635f dts hack) [0].
Maybe some batch of the routers or flash chips does not have the BFPT
table set properly.

So, adding broken-flash-reset serves as a fail-safe.
