Hi Michael,

The write cycle of the avalon bus controller is correct. Just the read 
cycle (8 bits or 16 bits) caused problem with toggle status checking.

There is no problem with Intel flash, because the busy checking is 
different.

In u-boot, there are nios2 specific flash drivers 
(board/altera/common/flash.c and AMDLV065D.c) to handle status polling 
for amd flash. But they didn't use the cfi info to detect flash 
parameters. You have to define them for each board.

I have tested 8 bits/16 bits amd flash and 16 bits intel flash on four 
altera dev boards without problem.
