[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] cfi_flash: Support buffered writes on non-standard Spansion NOR flash

Some NOR flash chip from Spansion, for example, the s29ws-n MirrorBit 
series require different addresses for buffered write commands. Define a 
configuration option to support buffered writes on those chips. A more 
elegant solution would be to automatically detect those chips by parsing 
their CFI records, but that would require introduction of a fixup table 
into the cfi_flash driver.
