/dev/cfi NOR flash driver

[Andrew Duane]

That includes the code I have, all under sys/dev/cfi.

I don't know what a "3-clause BSD" license is, or what constitutes a more consumable format though. For now, I'm going to just work on adding GEOM support to this driver, and then see about getting it pushed back to whoever wants it.

I see that this diff:
    http://people.freebsd.org/~marcel/e500.diff

contains this CFI code under a 3-clause BSD license. It would be good if 
it were available in a more consumable format. This CFI support is much 
needed.
