You have changed the implementation of spi_flash_cmd_wait_ready() so that
instead of polling for the bit within a single SPI transaction (CS staying
asserted) you are now doing multiple transactions.

The old code for spi_flash_cmd_wait_ready() ended up with an algorithm like
this, when you look inside the nested functions:

spi_claim_bus(spi);
ret = spi_xfer(spi, cmd_len * 8, cmd, NULL, SPI_XFER_BEGIN);
do {
ret = spi_xfer(spi, 8, NULL, &status, 0);
        ...
}
spi_xfer(spi, 0, NULL, NULL, SPI_XFER_END);
spi_release_bus(spi);

The new code is:

do {
spi_claim_bus(spi);
        ret = spi_xfer(spi, cmd_len * 8, cmd, NULL, SPI_XFER_BEGIN);
        ret = spi_xfer(spi, data_len * 8, data_out, data_in, SPI_XFER_END);
spi_release_bus(spi);
        ...
} while (...)


Can you see the difference? The bus clain and SPI_XFER_BEGIN/END is now
inside the loop.

Is there a reason why this change is needed? Does updating the bank address
not work with the old code?

It is find to move the spi_flash_cmd_poll_bit() function into
spi_flash_cmd_wait_ready() - I am not worried about that. I am only worried
about your change of algorithm as above.

Simon
