1The common CFI driver provides this weak default implementation for
2flash_cmd_reset():
3
4void __flash_cmd_reset(flash_info_t *info)
5{
6	/*
7	 * We do not yet know what kind of commandset to use, so we issue
8	 * the reset command in both Intel and AMD variants, in the hope
9	 * that AMD flash roms ignore the Intel command.
10	 */
11	flash_write_cmd(info, 0, 0, AMD_CMD_RESET);
12	flash_write_cmd(info, 0, 0, FLASH_CMD_RESET);
13}
14void flash_cmd_reset(flash_info_t *info)
15	__attribute__((weak,alias("__flash_cmd_reset")));

18Some flash chips seems to have trouble with this reset sequence. In this case
19the board specific code can override this weak default version with a board
20specific function. For example the digsy_mtc board equipped with the M29W128GH
21from Numonyx needs this version to function properly:
22
23void flash_cmd_reset(flash_info_t *info)
24{
25	flash_write_cmd(info, 0, 0, AMD_CMD_RESET);
26}
