Do you really need to send command on every write into the FLASHADDR
register ? Doesn't this hardware support some sort of seqeuntial reading?

Are you sure this has no side-effects when you mix this with reading
from the flash window ?

Also, the parenthesis around buf++ are not needed and the & 0xff should
not be needed either.

These look like standard opcodes, why don't you use standard opcodes in
this driver and instead redefine them here ?

Needs a comment to keep this consistent I think.
