Hm - so I am not the only one ;-)

I recently had similar trouble (outside OpenOCD) with Numonyx (Intel)
JS28F256P33 flashs - the new chip revision which is touted as a "new
release" of the same chip) will only accept the Intel-style reset
command, while the previous revision accepted both reset commands.

Now the wording in the CFI specs is not 100% clear, but my
interpretation is that a flash should accept either reset command to
exit CFI mode. However, with existing silicon in the wild that
interpretation is probably moot ...

I think the best solution is to use *only* the reset command that is
"right" for the command set (Intel or AMD), instead of relying on ine
version (which breaks on at least two chips now). This requires that the
CFI layer knows about the flash type, but this should be manageable.
