You don't have to send a new version, I can review it in the form it is now. 
Also, I can port the patch to the latest spi-nor/next if I'll find it good, 
and you'll not feel like respining. Once we agree on the final form of the 
patch, we can backport it to stable if you care.

I prioritized the subsystem rework because it will be easier/clearer for 
others to write new code, and because it eased the maintainance. Maybe it was 
better to fix all the known bugs before reworking the subsystem, but that is a 
lesson to learn.

Cheers,
