I'm saying this is a reasonable way to describe the regions
of flash the firmware itself cares about.

This isn't anything new; it is done like this on some
Apple systems, for example.

Not verbose, but flexible, and in line with everything
else about the device tree.

It is extensible.  It makes parsing trivial.  It
represents a flash partition in a way similar to how
a "whole" flash device is represented.
