Hmmm, I'm still not convinced about this reset call in the erase function. Do 
you really need it for the CFI driver to work correctly on your board? Could 
you please test without this reset command?

Thanks. The only real concern I still have is the new reset command as 
mentioned above. Please either explain why it is needed, or remove it from 
your patch. I'll push the patches upstream once this issue is resolved.
