Aha. Thanks, it's far easier to understand with the gpmc doc!

So if I've understood correctly, the first address cell is the CS, and the
second the offset within this (as the comment in the onenand at 0 node hints)?

If so, the code now makes sense to me :)

I was having difficulty seeing where the base address of the child got
translated via ranges, but I see in [3] that this doesn't currently happen.
That answers my question about the remaining cells.

Might it be worth sanity checking the runtime calculated address with the one
translated from dt? That way we can print a warning if the two don't match,
which would help to discover broken dts (or invalid runtime calculation if
future hardware breaks it somewhow).

Thanks,
Mark.
