You have a timeout problem here, similar to the one I mentioned earlier,
except that in this one, your do/while at least ensures that you always
run the loop at least once... but still, what if "a long time" elapses
between stfsm_read_fifo() and checking time_after_eq()?

I think you want something like this after the while():

	stfsm_read_fifo(fsm, &status, 4);
	if ((status & FLASH_STATUS_BUSY) == 0)
		return 0;
