mtd: augment the "arm,versatile-flash" bindings
The bindings for the "arm,versatile-flash" device was merged in commit 3ba7222ac992d24d09ccd0b55940b54849eef752 "arm/versatile: Add device tree support" but was never used for anything. Versatile flash chips are actually just standard CFI chips, but they have one or two bits in a system controller to control VPP and write protection. Let's use this compatible string in conjunction with "cfi-flash" to indicate that we have a normal CFI flash with some extra Versatile-specific protection.

Flash device on ARM Versatile board
+These flash chips are found in the ARM reference designs like Integrator,
+Versatile, RealView, Versatile Express etc.
+
+They are regular CFI compatible (Intel or AMD extended) flash chips with
+some special write protect/VPP bits that can be controlled by the machine's
+system controller.
+
Required properties:
-- compatible : must be "arm,versatile-flash";
+- compatible : must be "arm,versatile-flash", "cfi-flash";
+- reg : memory address for the flash chip
- bank-width : width in bytes of flash interface.
+For the rest of the properties, see mtd-physmap.txt.
+
The device tree may optionally contain sub-nodes describing partitions of the
address space. See partition.txt for more detail.
+
+Example:
+
+flash@34000000 {
+ compatible = "arm,versatile-flash", "cfi-flash";
+ reg = <0x34000000 0x4000000>;
+ bank-width = <4>;
+};
