In linux-2.6.x/drivers/mtd/chips/jedec_probe.c there is a comment explaining why FF is used to reset the flash, when F0 is the reset command. Apparently some "misdesigned" Intel chips do not respond to F0, so many places in the mtd/chips probe code use both F0 and FF. We've just come across a device, M29W128G from numonyx, which does not accept the FF command at all (F0 is reset). FF sends the device into some bizarre state.

How should this be fixed, to be submitted? I'm thinking an option in mtd/chips/Kconfig to disable the FF hack, and have the option "default y" to not break legacy systems? should i make this change?

thanks, wilson
