The eSPI can read the SPI flash (that’s how U-boot gets loaded into RAM) and I can read/write from linux using the mtdblock driver.  I see code that appears to support the MPC83xx, but it looks quite different than the MPC85xx.  I am willing to backport the linux code to work in U-boot, but am hoping that isn’t necessary.
