In atmel_qspi_transfer(), the status register is polled with: imr = QSPI_SR_INSTRE | QSPI_SR_CSR; return readl_poll_timeout(aq->regs + QSPI_SR, sr, (sr & imr) == imr, ATMEL_QSPI_TIMEOUT);
However, this is racy: QSPI_SR_INSTRE can be set before QSPI_SR_CSR, and will then be cleared by the read. If that happens, the condition "(sr & imr) == imr" can never be true, and the function times out. This race condition is avoided in at91bootstrap by accumulating the status bits across reads until both bits have been observed: /* Poll INSTruction End and Chip Select Rise flags. */ imr = (QSPI_SR_INSTRE | QSPI_SR_CSR); sr = 0; do { udelay(1); sr |= qspi_readl(qspi, QSPI_SR) & imr; } while ((--timeout) && (sr != imr)); Update U-Boot's atmel_qspi_transfer() to use the same pattern, ensuring that both flags are observed even if they are not set simultaneously.
