The one in arch/arm/include/asm/mach/flash.h is designed to have great
appeal and flexibility across different platforms, and indeed we have
at least 70 users across six different MTD NOR flash drivers and two
MTD NAND drivers.

If anything, I believe that this header should move into linux/mtd/
and become a standard structure for platforms to communicate their
requirements to flash drivers.
