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

[Qi Wang 王起 (qiwang)]

Hi Stefan,
ok, got it.
Because I saw the patch format is malformed in the website http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/, so I send this patch three times. You can reference the last patch I submit. It's my first time to submit Patch to Uboot community. Sorry for bring inconvenient for you. 
Sorry for that. 
Anyway, can you help check if the patch I submit make sense?
Thanks a lot

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,
