Do you plan to introduce some infrastructure so other flash-like
drivers could be attached (e.g. non-CFI compliant, SPI flashes, etc)?
I've started working on such thing and don't want to do the duplicate
works, so if you have something in mind it's time to share:-)

And thanks for this great work!
