You may notice that there are three (3 !!!) other implementations  of
the very same driver in the U-Boot source tree:

	board/esd/cpci440/strataflash.c
	board/esd/pmc405/strataflash.c
	board/ppmc8260/strataflash.c
	board/zpc1900/flash.c

Maybe we should make an attempt and clean up this mess a bit?

Stefan, two of these files are in  your  realm  -  do  you  have  any
resources available to take the lead?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
