Well, the SPI flash may not be empty, if that's what you meant.
For instnace, my Armada XP GP board has the bootloader on that SPI,
and boots from there. After booting, the SPI flash is no longer needed.

IMHO, I don't think we should include the option CONFIG_MTD_M25P80
as it is just a particular SPI master device present in a particular board.

On the other hand, I don't have a strong opinion on this.
I've always wondered the *true* meaning of defconfigs,
so feel free to enligthen me :)
