That includes the code I have, all under sys/dev/cfi.
I don't know what a "3-clause BSD" license is, or what constitutes a =
more consumable format though. For now, I'm going to just work on adding =
GEOM support to this driver, and then see about getting it pushed back =
to whoever wants it.

I see that this diff:

contains this CFI code under a 3-clause BSD license. It would be good if =
it were available in a more consumable format. This CFI support is much=20
