1295 - compatible : should contain the specific model of flash chip(s)
1296 used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash" or "jedec-flash"
1297 - reg : Address range of the flash chip
1298 - bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the flash bank. Equal to the
1299 device width times the number of interleaved chips.
1300 - device-width : (optional) Width of a single flash chip. If
1301 omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'.
1302 - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the flash has
1303 sub-nodes representing partitions (see below). In this case
1304 both #address-cells and #size-cells must be equal to 1.
1305
1306 For JEDEC compatible devices, the following additional properties
1307 are defined:
1308
1309 - vendor-id : Contains the flash chip's vendor id (1 byte).
1310 - device-id : Contains the flash chip's device id (1 byte).
1311
1312 In addition to the information on the flash bank itself, the
1313 device tree may optionally contain additional information
1314 describing partitions of the flash address space. This can be
1315 used on platforms which have strong conventions about which
1316 portions of the flash are used for what purposes, but which don't
1317 use an on-flash partition table such as RedBoot.
1318
1319 Each partition is represented as a sub-node of the flash device.
1320 Each node's name represents the name of the corresponding
1321 partition of the flash device.
1322
1323 Flash partitions
1324 - reg : The partition's offset and size within the flash bank.
1325 - label : (optional) The label / name for this flash partition.
1326 If omitted, the label is taken from the node name (excluding
1327 the unit address).
1328 - read-only : (optional) This parameter, if present, is a hint to
1329 Linux that this flash partition should only be mounted
1330 read-only. This is usually used for flash partitions
1331 containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not
1332 be clobbered.

6 - compatible : should contain the specific model of flash chip(s)
7 used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash" or "jedec-flash"
8 - reg : Address range(s) of the flash chip(s)
9 It's possible to (optionally) define multiple "reg" tuples so that
10 non-identical NOR chips can be described in one flash node.
11 - bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the flash bank. Equal to the
12 device width times the number of interleaved chips.
13 - device-width : (optional) Width of a single flash chip. If
14 omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'.
15 - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the flash has
16 sub-nodes representing partitions (see below). In this case
17 both #address-cells and #size-cells must be equal to 1.

20are defined:
21
22 - vendor-id : Contains the flash chip's vendor id (1 byte).
23 - device-id : Contains the flash chip's device id (1 byte).

28used on platforms which have strong conventions about which
29portions of the flash are used for what purposes, but which don't
30use an on-flash partition table such as RedBoot.

33Each node's name represents the name of the corresponding

37 - reg : The partition's offset and size within the flash bank.
38 - label : (optional) The label / name for this flash partition.
39 If omitted, the label is taken from the node name (excluding
40 the unit address).
