A simple off-by-one. The driver in question always sent one byte too much which causes trouble if you accidentally write garbage to your flash chip's second status register. Some chips enable write protection that way and certain firmware doesn't work reliable any more in that state :D Don't ask me why it writes to the status register at all by default. I don't remember.
