     Flash chips (Memory Technology Devices) are often used for solid state
     file systems on embedded devices.
 
-    Required properties:
+     - compatible : should contain the specific model of flash chip(s)
+       used, if known, followed by either "cfi-flash" or "jedec-flash"
+     - reg : Address range of the flash chip
+     - bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the flash bank.  Equal to the
+       device width times the number of interleaved chips.
+     - device-width : (optional) Width of a single flash chip.  If
+       omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'.
+     - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the flash has
+       sub-nodes representing partitions (see below).  In this case
+       both #address-cells and #size-cells must be equal to 1.
+
+    For JEDEC compatible devices, the following additional properties
+    are defined:
+
+     - vendor-id : Contains the flash chip's vendor id (1 byte).
+     - device-id : Contains the flash chip's device id (1 byte).
+
+    In addition to the information on the flash bank itself, the
+    device tree may optionally contain additional information
+    describing partitions of the flash address space.  This can be
+    used on platforms which have strong conventions about which
+    portions of the flash are used for what purposes, but which don't
+    use an on-flash partition table such as RedBoot.
+
+    Each partition is represented as a sub-node of the flash device.
+    Each node's name represents the name of the corresponding
+    partition of the flash device.
+
+    Flash partitions
+     - reg : The partition's offset and size within the flash bank.
+     - label : (optional) The label / name for this flash partition.
+       If omitted, the label is taken from the node name (excluding
+       the unit address).
+     - read-only : (optional) This parameter, if present, is a hint to
+       Linux that this flash partition should only be mounted
+       read-only.  This is usually used for flash partitions
+       containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not
+       be clobbered.
 
-     - device_type : has to be "rom"
-     - compatible : Should specify what this flash device is compatible with.
-       Currently, this is most likely to be "direct-mapped" (which
-       corresponds to the MTD physmap mapping driver).
-     - reg : Offset and length of the register set (or memory mapping) for
-       the device.
-     - bank-width : Width of the flash data bus in bytes. Required
-       for the NOR flashes (compatible == "direct-mapped" and others) ONLY.
-
-    Recommended properties :
-
-     - partitions : Several pairs of 32-bit values where the first value is
-       partition's offset from the start of the device and the second one is
-       partition size in bytes with LSB used to signify a read only
-       partition (so, the partition size should always be an even number).
-     - partition-names : The list of concatenated zero terminated strings
-       representing the partition names.
-     - probe-type : The type of probe which should be done for the chip
-       (JEDEC vs CFI actually). Valid ONLY for NOR flashes.
-

- 	flash@ff000000 {
- 		device_type = "rom";

+			label ="firmware";
+			reg = <f80000 80000>;
+			read-only;
