I don't have any new information to report -- only what is noted above, that
some regression in the mtd tree about the time the CFI_DEVICETYPE_X8's
disappeared.  It was never fixed while I worked with the board.  It may be
fine now, but unfortunately I am unable to check easily.

Can we locate someone with a suitable platform and coax them into testing
the latest code?
