[Fwd: RE: [U-Boot-Users] Incorrect flash ids?]

[Tolunay Orkun]

Well, there is no end to it. In my previous job, hardware engineer decided
to use 64bit bus for flash so we had 4 of them to make 64bit bus(MPC755).
So, the 32 bit ones is not enough to compare all 4 anyway.

Another perfectly valid (but unusual) scheme is to map 4 devices each in
byte mode. That 4 byte ID read would be different that the stored one if
you wanted to compare them bus wide.
