Okay - sorry, I did not have time for as much testing as I planned.
>From a short test, it looks like AMD-style flash roms treat *any* unknown
command write as a reset, at least when in CFI Query mode, so issuing the
Intel reset command to AMD-style flashs seems safe (from the small sample I
have), plus the 3-cycle magic sequence should kick the state machine into
the right state even without a reset command. Since the AMD-style flashs
require the unlock sequence for real operation, I chose to try the AMD reset
command first, so that Intel flashs do no see an invalid command prior to
the CFI query.
I have tested the patch on AM29LV320-style flashs from Fujitsu and Macronix,
plus Intel StrataFlash.
