You can't easily change OF. It's like "let's change ACPI tables
or BIOS in these PCs". Doable, but involves things like reflashing.
And we usually have to support old BIOSes as well.

OTOH, I see (git grep m25p arch/powerpc/boot/dts/) that in
mainline kernel only MPC8569 board has a correct m25p
node, and it is STMicro variant (it is JEDEC capable).

As we don't really have to support out of tree code, I'd
just go with this patch, assuming that we have to change
device tree for boards with non-JEDEC flashes. It's
effectively the same thing as platform data flag, except
that it works automatically for OF platforms.

are you picking the m25p because its flash geometry matches whatever
you're using, or because you have some weird variant of the m25p that
has JEDEC commands removed ?
