-- reg : Address range of the mtd chip

+
+description:
+  The SPEAr600 Serial Memory Interface (SMI) is a dedicated serial flash
+  controller supporting up to four chip selects for serial NOR flashes
+  connected in parallel. The controller is memory-mapped and the attached
+  flash devices appear in the CPU address space.The driver
+  (drivers/mtd/devices/spear_smi.c) probes the attached flashes
+  dynamically by sending commands (e.g., RDID) to each bank.
+  Flash sub nodes describe the memory range and optional per-flash
+  properties.
