CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT is used on some board specific driver, but
not by the CFI driver. It seems you are using the CFI driver and you
probably can drop this CONFIG_ switch.
However, I have not understood from you previous message when the flash
has not been erased. You say that an erase command for quite the whole
flash (from 512KB to the end of the flash, as CFI reports 64MB) works.
Do you try to erase the flash to store only the kernel ? Something like
"erase 0x80000 +13CA64" ?
