I have seen the atmel-ebi driver, it is doing more compare to PL353.
It works with 
drivers/mfd/
drivers/mtd/
drivers/memory/
but if we compare that with PL353 SMC, then
In nand case, we have only one CS and for NOR/SRAM we have 2 CS.
i.e
PL353 SMC -> NAND (1CS)
		NOR/SRAM(2CS).
So just asking, will there be any advantage if we do like that?
Because, for NOR/SRAM interface, the generic cfi-probe will take care and
For NAND, PL353 has just one NAND, hence asking.

Could you please explain a bit more?
