    We don't have any actual registers (at least "physmap" doesn't know about 
them anyway) I think, just a memory range. What registers are you talking about?
We do have registers there, in query mode. The CFI registers.

Okay, probably we can go you way naming of_device by what it's
compatible with. So that "physmap" compatible would be called
"physmap-flash", "nand"-compatible would be called "nand-flash" etc.
    Actually, Generic Names spec tells to use the most generic user-parsable 
names, just like I used initally ("flash")...

Does that work for you?
    No. Getting rid of "physmap" completely and using of_find_node_by_type() 
does. :-)
That's effectively what I'm talking about. Find the device by type and
register it with the name which depends on what it's compatible with.
