Mh, this seems to be very tailored to this flash chip. Eg. the "Vcc/2", 
is
this something specific to this flash or is this some kind of common 
usage?
For example, Winbond flashes specifies the output driver strength in 
percent.
Settings are 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% there.

I'd have to ask a hardware guy, if one could convert between these two
representations of the driver strength.

Rob, do you know how is this case ususally handled? Can there be 
different
properties, like:

output-driver-strength-ohms
output-driver-strength-percent

or similar.
