[U-Boot] Taskit Portux920T port - Some issues

Hi, we are Enrico & Luca.

We have tried to port u-boot to a Portux920T MiniPC.
It seems we are successful, in fact u-boot brings up the device with no
error and can boot a linux kernel.
Ethernet driver works, dhcp works and major problems are present.

The only thing we can't get right is flash programming. We are trying to use
CFI flash driver that shows evident timing issues, at least in our opinion.
When running saveenv more than once we get the typical "Flash not erased"
error, while running cp.b (for example) does not give us any problem.
Running a "bootm kerneladdr initaddr" command it frequently gives us a "No
boot image - CRC error", but running it another time, without rebooting the
machine, results in a successful boot. We ended up thinking that is a CFI
driver bug, but we know we could easily be wrong, so we include our config
in this message.
Our flash chip is a AMD MIRROR  S29L128N 128Mbit - AMD (Spansion) (227e) -
16MB.

P.S.: we have tried to disable buffered writing (as suggested for example in
the voiceblue.h file, with no success)
