Since AMD shunted its flash memory division, the URI in the mtd Kconfig is now
broken, so the attached patch points people to Wikipedia.

Erm, I'd rather not point to wikipedia. Can you change it to point to:
http://www.intel.com/design/flash/swb/cfi.htm
instead?

Even on the Intel page, it gives "Intel, AMD, Sharp, and Fujitsu" credit - why
limit Sharp, and Fujitsu to "others"? (I would just take out everyone's name).

Why not from the place that you can get the standard? http://jedec.org/
or http://www.jedec.org/download/search/jesd68-01.pdf
There isn't any point to pick one vendor - unless you work there, own
stock, or one provides outstanding support (free hardware) for driver
development. :)

He wasn't changing that part of the option. I'm fairly certain that
description has been there for years. If you want to change it to be
a bit more "fair", feel free.

I wasn't picking a vendor. I was pointing out a well laid out webpage
that describes what CFI is and provides the spec for it. If you want
to link directly to jedec, ok.
And no, I don't work at Intel, own stock in it, or know of them giving
out free hardware on a regular basis. I do happen to like what Intel
is doing in regards to opening their drivers, but that has nothing to
do with this :).
