I think you meant cs-regs = <0x00000000 ..>

0x0 - 0x1fffffff is gpmc external memory address space, while
0x50000000 to plus 16MB is gpmc configuration address space.

You may refer other gpmc peripheral init's that are NOR type.

Changing any of the properties later is something we have
to avoid. Let us get feedback from DT maintainers.
