Yes. Start by designing common accessor functions that form a
sufficient and complete API to access the hardware functionality. A
set of functions blindly moved from the existing driver usually do not
make such an API, because usually nobody cares enough about the driver
internals. It should be something that external user (NAND, SPI, etc)
can use without looking into the actual implementation of these
functions.
