Dear Stefan Roese,

Sometimes it might make sense to verify the written data to NOR flash. This patch adds this feature. To enable this verify-after-write, you need to define CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_VERIFY_AFTER_WRITE in your board config header.

This is a user selectable feature, thus the option should be CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY_AFTER_WRITE. Thinking about it - obviously you cannot verify _before_ the write, so all the "after write" is redundant. Better call it just "CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY". Please also change the error message:
Instead
printf("\nVerify-after-write failed!\n");
just:
printf("\nVerify failed!\n");
Finally - you are introducing a new CONFIG_ option; this must be documented in the README.
And it might make sense to add a comment that this option is totally useless in almost all cases, and should only be enabled if you know EXACTLY what you are doing - and that it does not really work even then.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
