As I said earlier, I'm still constrained by a NDA in this area.

It's not rocket science however, so if you sit down and read a couple
of flash-chip data-sheets carefully and think about the restrictions
and limitations, it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a good design.

You can do most of the work in userland in a simulation, and once you
have the read/write/erase ratio where you want it, migrate the result
to the kernel.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
