I do like your design approach and it looks very sensible for all SPI
chips. You trim quite a lot of fat from various places and group
probe-related data with probe-related functions inside struct flashchip.
This improves readability and is also the right thing to do from a
design POV.
Besides that, draft code is an excellent way to get the discussion
going. Your no-nonsense approach also made me painfully aware of other
issues in struct flashchip which are relics from ancient times and
always worked well enough to ignore their design problems.
Thanks a lot!


First draft of a counter-proposal based on most of the design of your
patches.
Does not compile, only to illustrate what I mean by way of two examples.
Your individual probe function rewrite (except for the data->code moves)
is something I really like from a design POV, thus I didn't replicate it
here.
SPI entries in flashchips.c look exactly the same as in your rewrite
(because I think you designed the struct exceptionally well for SPI
chips), but the non-SPI entries differ (because I extended the struct to
handle the cases I'm concerned about).
I have not yet looked in detail at the probe function prototype for
probe_*, I just used that snippet from your patch as reference for now.
