[U-Boot] Question about M29W128G CFI QRY bug

[Richard Retanubun]

Hi Stefan,

I'm trying to get u-boot 2009.03 on coldfire to boot on flash part M29W128G.

I think I am getting hit by this bug in the flash chip

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2008-July/022252.html

The debug output is as follows:


U-Boot 2009.03dvl-00087-gd53876a-dirty (Apr 09 2009 - 19:00:37)

fwc addr ff0000aa cmd 98 9898 16bit x 8 bit
is= cmd 51(Q) addr ff000020 is= ff00 5151
[snip]

Note that we suffer from the same bug, where QRY is not being setup properly.
The notes there offers a remedy by sending ff before f0. (or skipping ff altogether).

Am I on the right track here and if so, how can I make the same fix in u-boot?

Thanks for your time

- Richard
