Some comments:
- Are you sure that you can't use the common CFI FLASH driver?
No, I'am not sure about it. Is it so important?
Yes. Most of the board specific FLASH driver are error prone, since the code and it's error are copied over and over again. This is not maintainable. The CFI driver has a very broad test basis and is maintained quite good.
Right you are! It's the reverse of the 'copy-n-paste' method...
And a new board port with a board specific flash driver that is not needed, meaning when CFI compliant FLASH chips are used, will not be accepted anymore.
What FLASH chips are you using?
Unfortunately, we are use very old AMD flash chips - AM29F800BT. They are not CFI compliant.
