Why?
Have you done any cost benefit analysis to the rest of the community?
What will the world gain by such a change?

From my point of view, dataflash is the main case, and
everything else is a side case.
I do not see any benefit in changing the MMI for dataflash.
I rather see changes which will make dataflash more similar
in use to std parallell flash.
In my u-boot I can compare dataflash to SDRAM etc.
