Can the current mtd suport two different types of flash on one board?

Yes, it's capable of this.

All the details about bus/device width and interleave are abstracted out
in order to prevent us from having to write the same read/write/erase
routines 17 times. It's convoluted, but it works.

See the implementation, for example, of cfi_gen_send_cmd() and how it
works according to the variables you named -- and how if you enabled
advanced configuration and only one interleave/devsize/bussize all the
conditionals go away and you're left with optimal code.

We have Nico to thank for that. It makes my head hurt at times, but it's
very clever.
