I had that in initially (that's why it was there, but commented out) but 
all it got me was slower programming times and the datasheet also 
suggests it is ok to just do a timed wait. But in the face of 
genericness for other chips, it is indeed more correct to do the check 
for the busy bit.

The read status register will take at least:
16*(2/33) us = about 1 us (excluding the LPC latency, which is....?), so 
assuming that the first read status will show busy and the second will 
show ready, it is only 2 us slower: ~20%, so that should be acceptable. 
I'll do some checks on the hardware shortly.
