In function do_write_buffer(), in the for loop, there is a case
chip_ready() returns 1 while chip_good() returns 0, so it never
break the loop.
To fix this, chip_good() is enough and it should timeout if it stay
bad for a while.

It is quite possible that this thread might be pre-empted just after
chip_good() check but before before time_after(). If the thread, then
resumes execution after timeo has elasped then, this code will wrongly
indicate write failure.

To avoid this case, you should add one more check for check_good() even
when time_after() returns true. Something like:

	if (time_after(jiffies, timeo)) {
		if (chip_good(map, adr, datum)) {
			xip_enable(map, chip, adr);
			goto op_done;
		}
		break;
	}

So,  the patch should like this ?

Any other opinions?
If there are no other comments, I will send a patch again
