[PATCH] Fixed endless loop problem in CFI when value was written but corrupted.

[Przemyslaw Sobon <psobon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There was an endless loop in CFI Flash driver when a value was written
incorrectly. In such case chip_ready returns true but chip_good returns
false and we never get out of the loop.

The solution was to break the loop in 2 cases, either device is ready or
device is not ready and timeout elapsed. The correctness of the write is
checked after the loop ended. That way we ensure the loop always ends.
