greetings,

during some testing with several samsung s3c24xx based
devices it was discovered that often the
cfi_cmdset_0001.c would not leave the chip in
read-array mode on suspend. this is an issue if the
same flash chip is used for the bootloader that needs
to read on resume. attached is a patch generated
against the 2.6.18 kernel and has been tested with
several s3c24xx based devices as well as several sharp
lh79520 devices. your feedback would be appreciated.
