Those aren't particularly generic bits of information - why do you think
they should be present at that level? That kind of detail is reported in the
boot messages, not in /proc/mtd. Does your eth0 device provide a way to find
out which chipset it is?

Perhaps we could make the CFI drivers put slightly more informative 
information in the 'name' field, but that doesn't work nicely if you have 
partitions which override the original name.
