If flash hangs off the local bus, then it belongs in the local bus node. It doesn't make any sense to put it in the SoC node because the SoC node describes the internal memory mapped devices. The local bus node should have a ranges property that describes the translation between physical address and individual chip selects. g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
