I was just planning to change the map_info, cfi_private, mtd_info
structures, so that the fields were more descriptive:
size -> map_size
size -> mtd_size
And the likes. Trying to decipher the MTD layer is very hard right now :)
If there are any problems with Sparc patches, I can talk to Dave, he is
always hanging around here.
