Skipping the previous discussion, I think there are actually two
problems here. One is the reset and the other is braindead behavior of
this flash. TLDR, you are right and this patch is needed (with minor
tweak to make it winbond-only and possibly clean up the conditions a
bit, maybe even pull it into separate function with some sensible name),
sorry for the noise.

I had to read up the datasheet and the discussion again, the behavior of
the flash is horrid.
