Confirmed, a regression in 3.3 and mainline w.r.t. 3.2. Here's another 
work-around:
---------------------------
void
flash_wait_ready(unsigned * volatile vaddr)
{
    while (*vaddr != *vaddr)
        ;
}
---------------------------

I must admit that I think that this one is wrong, though, as it
makes the _pointer_ volatile, not the object pointed to.
