  Comments:
Someone added "cold cereal" and "breakfast cereal" in 2007 along with this comment (but no references): "In popular usage, this words refers to any kind of breakfast cereal, and not just flake-shaped ones made of corn."
I don't think this is true. It certainly isn't used for muesli/granola.
The above link includes ココくんのチョコワ (which are like chocolate Cheerios) in a "top 5 cornflake cereals" list but I'm struggling to find other examples of コーンフレーク referring to non-flaked cereals. Google image results for コーンフレーク are what you'd expect.

  Comments:
Corn flakes are a type of breakfast cereal, yes, but I'm not seeing this in the refs as meaning "breakfast cereal" in general?

I think コーンフレークス should be a separate entry. It's not a spelling variant.
