What's the difference between flash-utils and misc-utils? And don't just
tell me it's because they were named starting with "flash" :)

Particularly, I think things like "mtdpart" and "flash_erase" are pretty
similar levels of generic.

(Also, why is mtdinfo in ubi-utils still? It should be moved, IMO.)

What makes more sense: jffsX or just jffs?

What are specific to NOR flash? I don't even know what "rfddump" and
"rfdformat" are. Do they really deserve their own directory?

You need to update .gitignore too.
