[PATCH 0/2] Regarding NAND core and drivers maintenance

Absolutely Agree.. Thanks Brian..

Specifically, we need someone to keep a watch on m25p80 (apart from
David and Brian). This is because I see lot of patches coming in but not
on generic framework approach. Serial Flash driver might be next big
component of MTD sub-system in coming times.
