Any reason for not using the CFI driver?

How about reading the chip manual?

How about reading the comments in this file:

/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Internal FLASH identification codes

Do you really expect to find U-Boot internal information in the  chip
manual? I'm afraid we are not *that* prominent yet.
