There is only one file. I can send it as a single patch; however, when
I sent the NOR driver [1], it was considered helpful to review in
chunks, kinda how the driver was written. I'll send it as a set to
start with and if you think it creates more problems than it solves
then we'll do something about it.

Thanks for your kind offer. I will send it right away.
