[U-Boot] fsxxx commands and driver model

do I have to use the driver model to use the fsxxx commands like fsls or fsinfo? or fatls and fatinfo?

as I said in my last email, I want to read my kernel out of a filesystem rather than an mtd partition, will I have to use the driver model?

next I'm using spi-flash (nor) I seem to see that there is a define in some include/configs/xxx.h files called CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH, but I don't see that configurable in any of the Kconfig files... is this not yet ready for primetime?

are there other configs I need to add to make it compile.

just wondering if I can use this. .

I'm using is25lp512 flash ... on a arm am335x_evm target
