I didn't write a new MTD device driver, but just moved the already existing one to the ts5500 platform directory. The point is that my TS-5500 doesn't have this flash, so I couldn't try. The fifth patch from this set could just be ignored.

I'm a bit confused with what should be done for the support for an embedded platform (X86-based) like this TS-5500. Is the actual code hierarchy OK? What is the impact of adding a device-tree to this code?
Thanks, Vivien.
