The Flash Interface Unit (FIU) is the SPI flash controller in the
Nuvoton WPCM450 BMC SoC. It supports four chip selects, and direct
(memory-mapped) access to 16 MiB per chip. Larger flash chips can be
accessed by software-defined SPI transfers.

The FIU in newer NPCM7xx SoCs is not compatible with the WPCM450 FIU.

My bot found errors running 'make DT_CHECKER_FLAGS=-m dt_binding_check'

This check can fail if there are any dependencies. The base for a patch
series is generally the most recent rc1.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit.

Will do.

My intention was rather to make the second reg item actually optional,
i.e. add minItems: 1 for reg as well.  (But, further discussion below.)

Ok, I'll move it up.

Ok, I'll add more reasoning, which is basically: The "memory" mapping is
only an optimization for faster access, knowledge of it is not necessary
for full operation of the device.

AFAIK every instance has it, and there's unlikely to be any variation on
this fact anymore, because newer Nuvoton SoCs replaced the FIU with a
redesigned and incompatible version.

I admit that the value of making the "memory" mapping optional is rather
theoretical, and I'm open to making this reg item mandatory to simplify
the binding.

Indeed.


Thanks for your review,

Alright, I'll do that.

Thanks,
