I don't see why this has to be code rather than in the platform specific
files as static initializers.  

The device is instantiated in the machine file and above information comes
from the board file. So we kept them this way.

Ok, but I don't see why this should be in the EMI code.  Surely this
should be along side the nor device, and called 'nor_init_board_info'
or something similar?
