Okay, will make it clearer.
Basically, we don't want the flash to be in an ambiguous state. It might 
or might not have undergone a power off during the suspend state. So, 
the spinand core wouldn't know if the flash is still in Octal DTR mode 
or not. If it is still in Octal DTR mode, then none of the SPI 
instruction during mtd_resume() would work. So this is an ambiguous 
situation for driver. To avoid this, perform a PoR reset before suspending.

Yeah, will make it clearer.

Yes sure!
