Hello Wolfgang & list,

This is a revised patch, with comments and indentation fixed, I hope.

I have "ported" U-boot to a in house made board with Numonyx Axcell P33/P30
256-Mbit 65nm flash chips.

After some time :( searching for bugs in our board or soft, we have
discovered that those chips have a small but annoying bug, documented in
"Numonyx Axcell P33/P30 256-Mbit Specification Update"

It states :
When customer uses [...] block unlock, the block lock status might be
altered inadvertently. Lock status might be set to either 01h or 03h
unexpectedly (00h as expected data), which leads to program/erase failure
on certain blocks.

A working workaround is given, which I have applied and tested with success.
