Hi Kumar,

We do geometry reversal for AMD/Spansion style flash devices. Look for 
"geometry_reversed" in the code.

The variable is set from CFI table but CFI 1.0 tables do not have the 
appropriate information. :(

So, the geometry reversal decision is made as a guess from device id 
(which could be wrong in which case you need to override the 
geometry_reversed flag based on exact match of manufacturer_id and 
device_id.

Let me know how it goes.

Tolunay
