When 2 commands are submitted in a row, and the second is very quick,
the completion of the second command might never come. This happens
especially if the second command is quick, such as a status read after
an erase.
The issue is that in the interrupt handler, the status bits are cleared
after the new command is issued. There is a small temporal window where
this happens :
- the previous command has set the command done bit
- the ready for a command bit is set
- the handler submits the next command
- just then, the command completes, and the command done bit is still
set
- the handler clears the "previous" command done bit
- the handler exits
In this flow, the "command done" of the next command will never trigger
a new interrupt to finish the status command, as it was cleared for both
commands.
Fix this by clearing the status bit before submitting a new command.
