In all documentation and block diagram I've read Freescale itself calls
that IP "NAND Flash Controller", even with the abbreviation NFC. IMHO,
its a valid name then. The only alternative would probably be MCF5441x,
since this is the first device that controller appeared, but since this
is ColdFire microprocessor which isn't suited for Linux, a driver named
after it in the kernel tree would be somewhat weird.

Yes, I could also verify this (see my comment on that Freescale
Community post).

Appreciate your work, count me as interested!

This is my U-Boot port of the driver, I'm going to cleanup and test it
on the Tower:
