As the driver stand now, I agree with you. But I do plan to add
firmware functionally later for Flash programming which will be used
for a MTD driver and OTP programming for the OTP nvmem driver. This is
also stated in the cover letter.

See this patch for the Flash ROM API:
https://github.com/manabian/linux-lpc/commit/f33b03e7b47515a1d48b42f8bb1476ad5c67025b

The reason why I want to merge a simple driver now is:
i) The driver useful for SoC identification
ii ) It's easier to review and the Flash API is really a separate thing
iii ) The Flash API can be reviewed/merged together with its user (MTD-driver)

I'll fix up.

flash_size is currently unused, but will be used by the MTD via the
Flash ROM API. I only kept in this patch to avoid the churn later, but
if it causes warnings I'll remove it.

This was a last minute change and I didn't notice before sending it. I
have already fixed this up in my tree.

This is done using a struct to keep it consistent with the other ROM
APIs that will be added later. The IAP is kinda special since it only
has one function while most other APIs have several functions.
