[PATCH] [MTD] [NAND] nand_base.c: reset chip first

[PATCH] [MTD] [NAND] nand_base.c: reset chip first

[Karl Beldan]

Some chips require a RESET after power-up (e.g. Micron MT29FxGxxxxx).
The first command sent is NAND_CMD_READID.
Issue a NAND_CMD_RESET in nand_scan_ident before reading the device id.
Tested with an MT29F4G08AAC.

Prior to resetting, the chip gives a correct first ID byte though.

This seems sensible to me, we don't really know what state the NAND
chip is in.

Does there need to be a delay after sending the reset command before
attempting to read the chip's identity?

There's the tWB + tRST delay which is handled by the CMD_RESET case in 
nand_command if that's what you were thinking of.
Tested both R/B and STATUS_READY code paths.
