[RFC] Handling of errors for AMD NOR (cfi_cmdset_0002) chips

[Detlev Zundel]

Hi Markus,

Two 16-bit Spansion S29GL512P interleaved into 32-bit bus width.

I don't think we have this problem.  As can be seen by the link provided
in my other mail, we are suffering from recovery problems after a reset,
everything else looks normal.

> Regarding the handling of status bits you can use MERGESTATUS /

It is always uselful to post patches that solve problems for some of us,
so yes please! ;)

Best wishes
