Into drivers/mtd? Even if it's not a MTD driver? This doesn't make mnuch sense to me.
In the end this driver will be used by the common FLASH user interface (cmd_flash.c, cmd_mem.c). So I prefer to have the "driver" for this interface
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, 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.
NOR flash drivers: drivers/mtd/nor (or drivers/mtd/maps as done in Linux).
Um... this is something different - in Linux all flash drivers (at least all in mainline) are handled through the MTD layer.
BTW: This common place will prevent those multiple platform/board specific flash drivers we have right now as well.
We agree on that.
