Why optional? Either the h/w has it or doesn't. If some chips don't, 
they should have a different compatible string.

Just "see ../spi/spi-bus.txt" for the description

in fact, the stm32 qspi controller can operate in any of the following 
modes:
-indirect mode: all the operations are performed using the qspi registers
with read/write.
-read memory-mapped mode: the external Flash memory is mapped to the
  microcontroller address space and is seen by the system as if it was
  an internal memory (use memcpy_fromio). this mode improve read throughput

if qspi_mm is defined the qspi controller use read memory-mapped mode
else the controller transfers in indirect mode.

You should always have the memory region defined because that's what
the h/w has. If you want another property to select the mode, then
perhaps that's fine. But why? Can't the OS figure out which to use?
Why would you ever not use memory mapped mode unless the driver
doesn't yet support it?

ok, I always map the memory region (qspi_mm is now required).
if the nor-flash is more bigger than "qspi memory region", I force to use
the indirect mode.
