This chip is CFI compliant. CFI stands for 'Common Flash Interface', and 
means that software can learn the chip's topology via a standard query 
method. In short, you shouldn't need to do anything with flash.h, all 
you need to do is specify in your board's /include/configs/*.h file that 
your board uses CFI. Lots of other boards use it, so look through the 
source to figure out the exact syntax.

Ben
