+* MTD SPI driver for ST M25Pxx (and similar) serial flash chips
+
+Required properties:
+- #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the device has sub-nodes
+ representing partitions.
+- compatible : May include a device-specific string consisting of the
+ manufacturer and name of the chip. Bear in mind the DT binding
+ is not Linux-only, but in case of Linux, see the "m25p_ids"
+ table in drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c for the list of supported
+ chips.
+ Must also include "jedec,spi-nor" for any SPI NOR flash that can
+ be identified by the JEDEC READ ID opcode (0x9F).
+- reg : Chip-Select number
+- spi-max-frequency : Maximum frequency of the SPI bus the chip can operate at
+
+Optional properties:
+- m25p,fast-read : Use the "fast read" opcode to read data from the chip instead
+ of the usual "read" opcode. This opcode is not supported by
+ all chips and support for it can not be detected at runtime.
+ Refer to your chips' datasheet to check if this is supported
+ by your chip.
+
+Example:
+
+ flash: m25p80@0 {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ compatible = "spansion,m25p80", "jedec,spi-nor";
+ reg = <0>;
+ spi-max-frequency = <40000000>;
+ m25p,fast-read;
+ };
