Ah, "bank width" as in "bus width" per chip select. I see.
So I think the best thing to have would be
compatible "cfi-flash"
bank-width like you said
device-width width of a single flash device
reg complete address range of this thing
and then the Linux OF CFI flash code / MTD code just keeps
on probing devices from that address range until it has it
filled.
Sounds good / comments / anything I missed?
