Problems with cfi_cmdset_0002.c

I have two AM29LV160D one top and one bottom boot and the both say bootloc==0 :(
I checked the datasheets and the AM29LV160D does not have 004F (bootloc), like the AM29LV320D cips do. I'll try to find some other way of determining the boot location.

We do buy a lot of AMD compatible flash chips, so we have to come up with a solution I'm afraid.

I'm also starting to dislike AMD flash chips...
