When this structure is just used in ssb or bcma and in the nvram code of
arch/mips/bcm47x I would also prefer two structures one for bcma and one
for ssb.

If you have a structure describing the needs of the serial flash driver
in drivers/mtd/ you could write the flash driver without any ifdef
BCMA_* or SSB_* and if does not have to include linux/ssb/ssb.h or
linu/bcma/bcma.h, like I did this with the watchdog driver
include/linux/bcm47xx_wdt.h
