Subject: [PATCH v3] cfi: fix deadloop in cfi_cmdset_0002.c do_write_buffer

In function do_write_buffer(), in the for loop, there is a case
chip_ready() returns 1 while chip_good() returns 0, so it never
break the loop.
To fix this, chip_good() is enough and it should timeout if it stay
bad for a while.

v2->v3:
Follow Vignesh's advice:
add one more check for check_good() even when time_after() returns true.
