It is enough to use chip_good() only so chip_ready() is not necessary.
Since chip_good() is doing the same check chip_ready() is doing plus an extra
check to make sure we end up with the data we wrote.

For this change the order to check timeout also will be changed at same time.
The order is not a hard requirement, it's just better to avoid the case where
the data update happens just after the timeout has expired.

This change actually a bux that it might cause an infinite loop.
Since currently the infinite loop is only exited by the conditions below.
  1. Timed out and not chip_ready()
  2. chip_good()
So if chip_ready() and not chip_good() the loop is not exited as infinite.
