Are you sure you want to pass physmap_map.map_priv_1 as the address?  That 
would imply that the address you are writing 0x90 to is (2 * 
physmap_map.map_priv_1) because physmap_writeX will add map->map_priv_1 to 
whatever address you pass it.  If that is bigger than WINDOW_SIZE, I don't 
think the command will actually reach the flash chip because the address 
isn't mapped to a flash chip.  I am assuming you are using a cfi compliant 
flash chip and 0x90 is putting it into "Read Identifier Codes".  Try using 0 
for the address instead, which is what you did below.

Looks like this is the equivalent of:
physmap_write8(&physmap_map,0x90,0);


I could be very wrong however.  I still consider myself a newbie, so sorry 
if this doesn't make any sense.  Hope it helps though.
