Right, so moving forward, I think the plan is: - For SPL, we acknowledge and continue to allow for one-off drivers that don't depend on MTD for NOR/NAND for read-only case. - For full U-Boot, we continue with the path you're talking about that gives us the most long term benefits and where yes, NOR and NAND depend on MTD. We will do this in a way that doesn't grow the binary size needlessly but by the same token we aren't going to restrict NOR/NAND drivers more harshly than we do the entire rest of the project. -- Tom
