I think your topic is very similar to this recent one:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/19970

and previous similar patches have been submited and are still
pending (but it seems they are coming, read the whole thread)

So, yes, til now cfi_flash didn't support x8 mode for AMD chips,
but it will.
