Raw NAND flash controllers are increasingly rare on modern microcontrollers. My read of the FTL bit is that of hopeful optimization that supports the ideal-case - say, the filesystem equivalent of all the revving-up everyone is doing to support RISC-V. It's clearly leaning pretty heavily on the bit about existing precedent. My practical hope is that the code stays in good, well-tended condition up to the point it can be usefully taken advantage of - and that someone notices it to good effect sooner rather than later.
