In my opinion Flash driver API hasn't well-defined common behavior.
It could cause additional complexity in component added on top of
flash driver because the incompatibility must be deferred at higher
component level. I have 2 points:

I can't say much about Flash API, but the above paragraph reminds me
well about my own thoughts/wording about following problems:

1. Device naming inconsistencies, in particular, GPIO naming, e.g. one
port uses "GPIO_1", some another - "GPIOA".
2. Similar consistency/well-documentedness of UART API. This was
tracked as https://jira.zephyrproject.org/browse/ZEP-2016 and I made
some effort to alleviate it in 1.8.0 release.

So, without having much experience with Flash API, or even looking into
it, I can give an "ack" that, with Zephyr being fast-growing and not
fully mature, there can be API issues like you mention, and would like
to encourage you to drive this matter forward - we need more people
paying attention to such issues ;-).
