Fair enough - I'll keep trying :)

As far as possible, by doing whatever chip-specific probe is necessary and
handing a faked CFI structure over to the generic cfi_cmdset_000[12]
drivers. Those two between them should handle the actual _operation_ of 
just about all flash chips we're likely to encounter. I'd like to phase out 
the other, more specific drivers.

See the recently re-written 'jedec_probe' code, which does just that and is 
no longer horrifically intertwined with the CFI probe code - it just 
invokes the CFI back end if it finds a chip it likes, that's all.
