It works now, but I had to hard-code cmdset_amd_read_jedec_ids for some 
reason.

static void cmdset_amd_read_jedec_ids(flash_info_t *info)
{
	ushort bankId = 0;
	uchar  manuId;

	debug("In %s\n", __func__);
	flash_write_cmd(info, 0, 0, AMD_CMD_RESET);
	flash_write_cmd(info, 0, 0x555, AMD_CMD_UNLOCK_START);
	flash_write_cmd(info, 0, 0x2AA, AMD_CMD_UNLOCK_ACK);
	flash_write_cmd(info, 0, 0x555, FLASH_CMD_READ_ID);
	/*flash_unlock_seq(info, 0); */
	/*flash_write_cmd(info, 0, info->addr_unlock1, FLASH_CMD_READ_ID);*/

With this, everything works with my mod to flash_write_cmd to use chipwidth 
instead of portwidth.
