The patch is to add in beginning of ->exec_op() to control CS# low and 
before return from ->exec_op() to control CS# High.
i.e,.
static in mxic_nand_exec_op( )
{
 cs_to_low();



 cs_to_high();
 return;
}

But for nand_onfi_detect(), 
it calls nand_read_param_page_op() and then nand_read_data_op().
mxic_nand_exec_op() be called twice for nand_onfi_detect() and
driver will get incorrect ONFI parameter table data from 
nand_read_data_op().

thanks & best regards,
Mason
