Hopefully, yes. We'll use the cfi_cmdset_0002 back end, and write a probe
routine which does the necessary magic to identify the chips, then sets up a
faked CFI data structure.

Some work has already been done on this, but it is merged into the real CFI 
probe code, which in hindsight was probably the wrong thing to do - it 
should be separated into a new probe routine.

3 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to amd_flash.c.rej

Your mailer ate the whitespace.
