How about checking "ibm,system-flash" property and if that doesn't exist then 
throw an error?

Hi Vasant,

This already happens and not having "ibm,system-flash" doesn't
necessarily mean the system is FSP. The current message for this is in
external/common/arch_flash_powerpc.c:

 	fd = open(fdt_flash_path, O_RDONLY);
	if (fd == -1) {
		fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't open '%s' FDT attribute to determine
which flash device to use\n", fdt_flash_path);
		fprintf(stderr, "Is your skiboot new enough to expose the flash
through the device tree
\n");                                                                  
            
		hint_root();
		return -1;
	}


That is taken from get_dev_mtd() and it is called with fdt_flash_path
being the path to "ibm,system-flash".

Admittedly skiboots which don't expose "ibm,system-flash" are going to
be old these days...

Thanks for the clarification. I missed this.
