how about request the memory region

and use platform device to register the bank ressource instead of define

it will make it more flexible

Hello Jean,

Sorry for replying late

Since the physmap driver implementation is generic for all the CFI device 
controllers, the driver expects only the actual flash base address in 
resource. Offcourse, the controller needs to be initialized separately.

Moreover, in most of the platforms where physmap driver is being used, the 
controllers are initialized independently. i.e only the NOR flash base 
addresses are passed as resource

examples are 

arch/arm/mach-at91/board-cap9adk.c
arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/adssphere.c
arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/micro9.c

and many more

Regards
Vipin
