that looks kind of weird, doesn't it? i haven't looked any more closely but for two source files with the same name to have that single, subtle difference just looks strange.
i took a couple minutes with "git blame" to discover this:
$ git show 3d22d0b8 diff --git a/board/psyent/common/AMDLV065D.c b/board/psyent/common/AMDLV065D.c ... snip ... - *cmd = 0xaa; - *cmd = 0x55; - *cmd = 0xa0; - *dst = b; + writeb (cmd, 0xaa); + writeb (cmd, 0x55); + writeb (cmd, 0xa0); + writeb (dst, b); ... snip ...
while over in the (almost) identical file:

i don't know what the above is doing, but it would certainly seem that if a flash write bug was being fixed in one of those files, it would be fixed in the other. beyond that, i cannot say.
