It is mostly likely a 8/16 bit wide device in 8 bit mode on an 8 bit
external bus. Then all CFI data appears twice.
Reason: the chip presents CFI data correctly (from the flash point of view)
in 16 bit mode (flash A0 connected to CPU A1). If connected in 8 bit mode
(flash A0 connected to CPU A1, flash A-1 connected to CPU A0) it still
presents the data at the same adresses but the CFI driver gets misled
because its told to try for 8 bit wide flash.
Since that was an issue long ago, I made the board/emk/common/flash.c
(CFI) driver. Anyone is welcome to add that special handling for 16 bit
flash connected in 8 bit mode to the general CFI driver :)
Best Regards,
Reinhard
