although this is a bit harsh, i'm inclined to agree. last time i tried this 
driver, apart from reading from a spi flash, nothing else was working. even a 
spi unlock was broken. if you actually capture the spi pins on a scope you see 
that mostly garbage is transmitted in some cases (eg. using the raw spi 
commands on the cli). fun fact: the spi unlock actually resulted in a spi lock 
;)

i guess freescale haven't put much love into this one ;)
