powerpc_flash_init(), wtf!?

If the RAM and/or ROM sit on the SoC bus, the "ranges"
property in the SoC node should be able to translate
their addresses, yes.  You could opt for having the
memory controller a separate device node, as a sibling
of the "soc" node, if that agrees better with your
SoC architecture.  "It all depends".
