    I understand you just want to make your system work, but this is a
    broken way to do it. And that's not your fault - we should really fix
    the driver. I think the memory-region phandle should be optional
    and the driver should simply limit the options available to the ioctl
    to just the flash region if the memory node is not present (i.e. return
    an error if the memory region is requested but not described in the
    devicetree).
Let me fix driver itself first.
