Basic implementation attached:
1. Only write support is included.
2. Board code is responsible for defining board_map_xxx() functions.
3. No impact is expected if CFG_FLASH_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS is undefined.
4. flash_info_t isn't modified and no function pointers are used, the 
board_map_xxx() should use the absolut address or information on the info 
structure to determine which flash chip is being accessed.


Thanks,
Rui
