Interesting.  I was wondering when devices like this would show up.
Do you have a spec for those chips?

Not sure how much interest in this exists for JFFS2.  Two NOR chips can
work in parallel just as easily as your two-plane chip.  But noone has
ever tried to use this in any way.

For LogFS I am very interested.  Supporting parallel writes to several
chips (or planes on one chip) is on my list.  MTD should export roughly:
 - one device for all planes/chips,
 - preferrably eraseblock interleaving between all planes/chips or
 - alternatively linearly appending all planes/chips,
 - information about how many planes/chips exists.

What is the latency of reads/writes/erases?  I have already asked for
the spec, haven't I? ;)
