Since AMD shunted its flash memory division, the URI in the mtd Kconfig is now

broken, so the attached patch points people to Wikipedia.

Erm, I'd rather not point to wikipedia.  Can you change it to point to:


http://www.intel.com/design/flash/swb/cfi.htm


instead?

Even on the Intel page, it gives "Intel, AMD, Sharp, and Fujitsu" credit - why


Why not from the place that you can get the standard? http://jedec.org/


or http://www.jedec.org/download/search/jesd68-01.pdf 


There isn't any point to pick one vendor - unless you work there, own

stock, or one provides outstanding support (free hardware) for driver

development. :)

He wasn't changing that part of the option.  I'm fairly certain that

description has been there for years.  If you want to change it to be


I wasn't picking a vendor.  I was pointing out a well laid out webpage

that describes what CFI is and provides the spec for it.  If you want

to link directly to jedec, ok.


And no, I don't work at Intel, own stock in it, or know of them giving

out free hardware on a regular basis.  I do happen to like what Intel

is doing in regards to opening their drivers, but that has nothing to

do with this :).
