[U-Boot-Users] Multiple Flash Devices

You can use the addresses to differentiate which flash device are
accessed. Keep the same interfaces uboot has already had and just
develop your own functions to do the actual jobs.

Nah, I wouldn't do that.

That's what I did before on a EP8245 board. This way shields all the
differences.

Good luck,
