PATCH: solving a hang while waiting in FL_STATUS

Wed Apr 23 04:57:34 EDT 2008

I am experimenting an infinite loop problem happening at
cfi_cmdset_0001.c:chip_ready.

Some kind of timeout while waiting  in FL_STATUS should be included.
Indeed, this timeout feature is not new at all.

The feature was present in 2.6.23.17 but disappeared in 2.6.24 (after
some refactoring work easily perceptible).

The present patch restores the "lost functionality" and solves my
problem. Please consider the patch to be included in the mtd code.

Yours, Abel.
