Can you provide more details on what exactly this means?  Looking at the
code it looks awfully like this has the same problem that the Freescale
code had with needing to know the commands the flash needs?

I'm also concerned about the interface here, it looks like this is being
made visible to SPI devices (via a dependency on patch 3/3...) but only
as a flag they can set - how would devices know to enable this and why
would they want to avoid it?
