Shawn,

In that case, did both flash devices use the same driver?  My two
flash devices use different drivers.  So what I am currently doing is
adding a prefix to the different flash driver functions (ie: change
CFI's write_buff to cfi_write_buff) and then adding function pointers
to each flash bank structure indicating which function to use.

This seems to be a decent approach.  The main problem is that the
flash calls are a bit scattered, and also it will require all flash
devices to be changed.  But I'll continue with it unless someone has a
better solution?
