Yes. But MTD is a description of a specific interface. Even now we have two versions of the CFI driver: drivers/mtd/cfi_flash.c and drivers/mtd/cfi_mtd.c,
No, we don't have "two versions of the CFI driver". cfi_mtd.c is not really a driver but "only" a wrapper implementing the MTD infrastructure on top of the U-Boot NOR driver (cfi_flash or others).
and if we look closer at it only cfi_mtd.c makes sense in this directory. cfi_flash.c is *not* MTD conformant and should be somewhere else.
in a common place for a better overview. And the only common place I can think of is drivers/mtd right now. We should probably add a subdirectory for
Maybe we should create drivers/flash for those non-MTD flash drivers? Then we should also move cfi_flash.c there.
