Hmmm. When I understood Tolunay correctly (Tolunay, please correct me if I am wrong here), he _does_ want to use most of the CFI drivers functions like erasing and programming for those non CFI compatible FLASH's too. Most of those devices are kind of AMD compatible, so this should be possible with not too many changes.

It seems to me that for older non-CFI AMD devices, it shouldn't be too hard to use the cfi driver, intercept execution in flash_detect_cfi() or flash_get_size(), fill in the flash_info_t structure appropriately for the device, and continue on with most of the code being none the wiser about what happened.
