That shouldn't be the case, SPI has a chip select line which is asserted
to talk to a particular chip, while it's not asserted the slaves should
ignore any activity on the bus.  If activity on one slave affects
another something is broken, this is the first time I noticed that being
an issue but I might've missed some of the MTD side of this thread.
