Set flash explicitly to 'status read' mode. Without this patch, I have
experienced failures like an example below, if running executables from the
cramfs residing on Sharp's LHF64F12 flash chip.

	Waiting for chip to be ready timed out. Status 3c31
	end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock0, sector 5400
	Buffer I/O error on device mtdblock0, logical block 675
	Error -3 while decompressing!
