Sorry, the patch Claus posted duplicates a lot of existing
infrastructure because the existing SPI abstraction was not clearly
visible. That means to support a SPI flash chip with ICH9 and any other
chipset we have to add it twice to flashchips.c. I have posted 3 patches
to improve the existing SPI abstraction and 2 of them have already been
merged. Once the third patch is merged, I can eliminate all reasons for
duplicate listings in flashcips.c with a fourth patch. I expect to have
all patches merged tomorrow and then we can rework Claus' patch a bit more.

Claus, if I don't find time until tomorrow to post a patch against your
tree, can you look into using spi.h for some of your #defines? I'm
thinking of these:

AFAICS all of them are in spi.h under a different name and it would be
cool if you could reuse the definitions from spi.h
