No. You don't need to write a whole driver for it. The existing
cfi_cmdset_0001 code can driver the chips just fine. All you need to do is
write a _probe_ routine which can pass control to the existing code, just
like the cfi_probe does.

There's already a hack in the cfi_probe code to find some non-CFI 
AMD-compatible chips and use the cfi_cmdset_0002 back end. You want 
something similar - but _don't_ add further hacks to the cfi_probe code, 
make it an entirely new probe routine like the AMD one should probably 
have been.
