_DoC_WaitReady timed out -- is this the correct way to handle it?

["Chuck Meade" <chuckmeade@mindspring.com>]

During bootup I get the following messages relating to my
DiskOnChip device:

Using configured DiskOnChip probe address 0xf1000000
DiskOnChip Millennium found at address 0xF1000000
Flash chip found: Manufacturer ID: 98, Chip ID: E6 (Toshiba TC58V64AFT/DC)

NFTL_notify_add for DiskOnChip Millennium
.......

The problem is that the timeouts associated with the
"_DoC_WaitReady timed out." messages are greatly increasing the
bootup time (about 2 additional minutes).  It is running DoC_ScanChips(),
which is calling DoC_IdentChip(), which is timing out on a reset command,
very slowly.

One entry in the archives mentioned checking fewer floors, so I 
reduced the number of floors being checked from 4 to 1.  It now runs
fast enough, but I would like to know if this is the correct way to
go about handling this "long timeout" issue, or if there is a cleaner
approach.

Thanks very much,
Chuck
