   Hello everyone,
   Im still facing this issue with i tried to detect the M29W256G . I applied
the patch above and the code keeps on hanging in the first reset commmad. 


void __flash_cmd_reset(flash_info_t *info)
{
        /*
         * We do not yet know what kind of commandset to use, so we issue
         * the reset command in both Intel and AMD variants, in the hope
         * that AMD flash roms ignore the Intel command.
         */
        flash_write_cmd(info, 0, 0, AMD_CMD_RESET);   <<<<<----HERE it stops

        if(info->cfi_fixup & CFI_NUMONYX_FIXUP)
                return;

        udelay(1);
        flash_write_cmd(info, 0, 0, FLASH_CMD_RESET);
}
void flash_cmd_reset(flash_info_t *info)
        __attribute__((weak,alias("__flash_cmd_reset")));

static int __flash_detect_cfi (flash_info_t * info, struct cfi_qry *qry)
{
        int cfi_offset;

#define reset() writew(0x00F0, CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE)
#define unlock() writel(0x00AA, CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE+(0x555<<1));
writel(0x0055, CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE+(0x2AA<<1))
        /* Issue FLASH reset command */
        info->cfi_fixup = 0;

#ifdef  CONFIG_FLASH_NUMONYX_FIXUP
        info->cfi_fixup = CFI_NUMONYX_FIXUP;
#endif
        flash_cmd_reset(info); 



Boot Device: SD
I2C:   ready
DRAM:   2 GB
fwc addr 08000000 cmd f0 f0 8bit x 8 bit             

  if you please could provide any hint about who to overcome this issue, I would
apprecieate it so baddly.
