Hi, folks

I think this patch make cfi_flash can't work correctly.

--------------------------------------
without this line, flash can't be recognized. So it's correct here.

But with this two lines. flash ops are not correct.

I used old uboot version to read out data from flash.
Then tftpboot and run with latest uboot version, you can see that the read out
data from flash is different.
And without set flash to read-id mode here, it works fine.
