i took a couple minutes with "git blame" to discover this:
$ git show 3d22d0b8
diff --git a/board/psyent/common/AMDLV065D.c b/board/psyent/common/AMDLV065D.c
... snip ...
- *cmd = 0xaa;
- *cmd = 0x55;
- *cmd = 0xa0;
- *dst = b;
+ writeb (cmd, 0xaa);
+ writeb (cmd, 0x55);
+ writeb (cmd, 0xa0);
+ writeb (dst, b);
... snip ...
while over in the (almost) identical file:
git show 9e486ab1

i don't know what the above is doing, but it would certainly seem
that if a flash write bug was being fixed in one of those files, it
would be fixed in the other. beyond that, i cannot say.
