I just verified this. Using it the way it's used in mkflash script has one drawback, I think - your setup is static and you are not using whole flash to its best potential as well. Actually, with patches you are able to read flash (verified) and probably write to it, too, so the 'only' remaining part is ffs tuned to use it... Regards, Milan
