+ /*
+ * When the flash is handed to us in a stateful mode like 8D-8D-8D, it
+ * is difficult to detect the mode the flash is in. One option is to
+ * read SFDP in all modes and see which one gives the correct "SFDP"
+ * signature, but not all flashes support SFDP in 8D-8D-8D mode.
+ *
+ * Further, even if you detect the mode of the flash via SFDP, you
+ * still have the problem of actually reading the ID. The Read ID
+ * command is not standardized across flash vendors. Flashes can have
+ * different dummy cycles needed for reading the ID. Some flashes even
+ * expect a 4-byte dummy address with the Read ID command. All this
+ * information cannot be obtained from the SFDP table.
+ *
+ * So, perform a Software Reset sequence before reading the ID and
+ * initializing the flash. A Soft Reset will bring back the flash in
+ * its default protocol mode assuming no non-volatile configuration was
+ * set. This will let us detect the flash even if ROM hands it to us in
+ * Octal DTR mode.
+ *
+ * To accommodate cases where there is more than one flash on a board,
+ * and only one of them needs a soft reset, failure to reset is not
+ * made fatal, and we still try to read ID if possible.
