[U-Boot] [PATCH] cfi_flash: Fix problems with status/id read mode

[Stefan Roese]

This patch adds some calls to set the flash chip in the read-status-
register- or read-id-mode before the corresponding register is
read back. This problem was detected while porting the common CFI
driver to support the Xilinx DS617 flash chips.
