True, but I am not there yet.
A script doing almost the same thing as the patch would look like.

#!/bin/bash
# split at45.c into two files
head	--lines=<-N>	board/at91rm9200dk/at45.c	> driver/at45.c
tail	--lines=<N>	board/at91rm9200dk/at45.c	> cpu/arm920t/at91rm9200/spi.c

rm -f	board/at91rm9200dk/at45.c			# remove the original file
rm -f	board/cmc_pu2/at45.c				# remove a copy of the original file.

Then the makefiles would have to be updated and a header file added (at45.h).

---------------------
So instead of each board building at45 in their local directory
they will build it in the driver directory.
The reason for splitting the file is that the original file
contains things which is specific for one CPU.
Moving it to a cpu specific directory makes it possible
to use the remainder of at45.c for other CPUs.

The U-Boot patches for at91sam926x chips use a common at45.c
in the driver directory to avoid duplicating it in the board
directory, but that patch cannot be applied the way u-boot works
today, since it will cause a conflict with the at45.c in the
board directory

The plan is that when the at91sam926x patches are applied
the directory structure will look like:


----------------------------
CURRENT U_BOOT
board
	at92rm9200dk
		at45.c
	cmc_pu2
		at45.c
----------------------------
PROPOSED U_BOOT
cpu
	arm920t
		at91rm9200
			at91rm9200_spi.c
	arm926ejs
		at91sam926x
			at91sam926x_spi.c
board
	at91rm9200df
	at91rm9200dk
	at91rm9200ek
	at91rm9260ek
	at91rm9261ek
	at91rm9263ek
	cmc_pu2
driver
	at45.c


----------------------------
U-BOOT IF PROPOSAL IS NOT ACCEPTED
board
	at91rm9200df
		at91rm9200_at45.c
	at91rm9200dk
		at91rm9200_at45.c
	at91rm9200ek
		at91rm9200_at45.c
	at91rm9260ek
		at91sam926x_at45.c
	at91rm9261ek
		at91sam926x_at45.c
	at91rm9263ek
		at91sam926x_at45.c
	cmc_pu2
		at91rm9200_at45.c
