What version of U-Boot are you using? It looks like you are not using
the CFI driver which has supported the AM29LV040B for some time now.
Have a look at the eNET board from current mainline - it uses the same

Use the latest version of U-Boot and the CFI driver rather than this
custom driver you are currently using
