Let's quote the comment from the code above again for all users:

	/* We do not yet know what kind of commandset to use, so we issue
	   the reset command in both Intel and AMD variants, in the hope
	   that AMD flash roms ignore the Intel command. */
	flash_write_cmd (info, 0, 0, AMD_CMD_RESET);
	flash_write_cmd (info, 0, 0, FLASH_CMD_RESET);

Yes, you could be correct here. This 2nd RESET command seems to break M29W128G 
support.

How is this problem solved in the Linux MTD driver (referring to your first 
email and the link you posted there)? 

Did you take a look at the CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI_AMD_RESET define? I suggest 
you give it a try and let me know if this helps.

Best regards,
Stefan
