I am now trying to revive that for 2.6 kernels. In the past the flash was simply described as MTD_OTHER - but I see from: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/4/13/151 that type was axed as it was thought unused (not unreasonable - my & Paul's driver resided in the Dreamcast Linux CVS, not anywhere near mainline). I am loathe to just post a patch adding it back, so does it make any difference if I use another type (I really have no idea of what the physical type used in the Dreamcast is, though possibly someone here might?)
