[U-Boot] [PATCH] cfi_flash: Micron Nor flash don't support read operation after send write command

Hi Qi Wang,

please don't send this patch so often.

Are all Micon NOR flash chips affected by this? Or only some chips? 
Please list the chips/families and best add a link to the description of 
this unsupported operation mode (chapter in data-sheet or errata).

Find a few more comments below.

Naming is not optimal, at least for my taste. My not use "src_buf"?

Incorrect coding style. Please use something like this instead:

	if (!src2) {
		free(src2);
		return -ENOMEM;
	}

Thanks,
