Looking good. I reckon there's a good chance for upstream to take NSLU2
/ NAS-100D / FSG-3 support, once we have the driver in-kernel.

One thing, we need to #ifdef the mtd flash notifier code (probably with
CONFIG_MTD) so that the code compiles with CONFIG_MTD=n before they will
take this upstream. The headers don't need to be #ifdef-ed as far as I
can see.

Has any of this code been tested?
