I did not look at the datasheet of this NOR device. But chances are 
quite good that this device is currently supported by the common CFI NOR 
flash driver without any changes. The most complex part will be to 
correctly configure the CONFIG_ options for your board / flash chip.

I suggest to copy/clone those CFI CONFIG options from another config 
header of a similar board port (e.g. same ARM SoC or PowerPC variant). 
And make potentially necessary changes for your board port (address etc).

HTP,
