[U-Boot] about ## Unknown FLASH on Bank 0

The part of code I given out is in my get_flash_size() function in my
flash.c.
This part of code is used to read out the Manufacture ID and Device ID of my
nor flash.
This maybe have no contribution to the source tree, but maybe others that
having the same problem can get a clue for such problems.
