A few points:

Is the VxWorks driver GPL compatible? If not, you cannot legally
distribute your version of U-Boot (private in-house use only)

There is massive differences between 1.2.0 and current mainline

Why bother porting a proprietary driver and risk legal complications
when mainline supports your flash using the CFI driver?

Download the latest U-Boot and have a look at the eNET board for
getting your flash working
