Actually, checking for the presence of all possible perverted mapping props doesn't seem a good idea -- it's simpler to check for the presence of one prop (like "direct-mapped" I was thinking about, or maybe "simple-map").Or more simply... if it's not a direct mapping, it doesn't have a ranges property and can't be walked down by conventional means.
That establishes that the flash address space is mapped 1-1 into the host address space; however it doesn't say anything about swizzling or interleaving or endianness etc., which are important for NOR flash memory because of how the command sets work. Segher
