This replaces the binding for flash chips in booting-without-of.txt
with an clarified and improved version.  It also makes
drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c recognize this new binding.  Finally it
revises the Ebony device tree source to use the new binding as an
example.

     Flash chips (Memory Technology Devices) are often used for solid state
     file systems on embedded devices.
 
-    Required properties:
+     - compatible : should contain the specific model of flash chip(s)
+       used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash" or "jedec-flash"
+     - reg : Address range of the flash chip
+     - bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the flash bank.  Equal to the
+       device width times the number of interleaved chips.
+     - device-width : (optional) Width of a single flash chip.  If
+       omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'.
+     - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the flash has
+       sub-nodes representing partitions (see below).  In this case
+       both #address-cells and #size-cells must be equal to 1.
+
+    For JEDEC compatible devices, the following additional properties
+    are defined:
+
+     - vendor-id : Contains the flash chip's vendor id (1 byte).
+     - device-id : Contains the flash chip's device id (1 byte).
+
+    In addition to the information on the flash bank itself, the
+    device tree may optionally contain additional information
+    describing partitions of the flash address space.  This can be
+    used on platforms which have strong conventions about which
+    portions of the flash are used for what purposes, but which don't
+    use an on-flash partition table such as RedBoot.
+
+    Each partition is represented as a sub-node of the flash device.
+    Each node's name represents the name of the corresponding
+    partition of the flash device.
+
+    Flash partitions
+     - reg : The partition's offset and size within the flash bank.
+     - label : (optional) The label / name for this flash partition.
+       If omitted, the label is taken from the node name (excluding
+       the unit address).
+     - read-only : (optional) This parameter, if present, is a hint to
+       Linux that this flash partition should only be mounted
+       read-only.  This is usually used for flash partitions
+       containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not
+       be clobbered.
 
-     - device_type : has to be "rom"
-     - compatible : Should specify what this flash device is compatible with.
-       Currently, this is most likely to be "direct-mapped" (which
-       corresponds to the MTD physmap mapping driver).
-     - reg : Offset and length of the register set (or memory mapping) for
-       the device.
-     - bank-width : Width of the flash data bus in bytes. Required
-       for the NOR flashes (compatible == "direct-mapped" and others) ONLY.
-
-    Recommended properties :
-
-     - partitions : Several pairs of 32-bit values where the first value is
-       partition's offset from the start of the device and the second one is
-       partition size in bytes with LSB used to signify a read only
-       partition (so, the partition size should always be an even number).
-     - partition-names : The list of concatenated zero terminated strings
-       representing the partition names.
-     - probe-type : The type of probe which should be done for the chip
-       (JEDEC vs CFI actually). Valid ONLY for NOR flashes.
