This is probably not acceptable for cfi_flash.c. cfi_flash.c is used by 
multiple CPU architectures so PowerPC assembly cannot be used. You have 
to find a solution based on "C" only.

How did you use "double" and it did not work? Please give example of the 
work you tried...

If you tried to assign the value to the double variable, the internal 
format will be different (IEEE floating point normalized). You can copy 
your intended data to the double variable via memcpy() or use a union of 
"long long" and "double", assign to "long long" member and use "double" 
  one for storing.

I've not forgotten that. I've been extremely busy. I will try to get the 
patch in a couple of days.

Please get this crap out of mails sent to public mailing lists. By 
sending to public lists you cannot make any claim confidentiality... If 
you have anything truely confidential do not expect others to protect 
it. Just do not send it to the public lists...
