Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for pointing this out. I agree that the current form is unclear.

For v5, I plan to add source labels to the existing flash nodes in
aspeed-g6.dtsi:

    fmc: spi@1e620000 {
            fmc_flash0: flash@0 {
                    ...
            };
    };

    spi2: spi@1e631000 {
            spi2_flash0: flash@0 {
                    ...
            };
    };

The board DTS will then reference them directly:

    &fmc_flash0 {
            ...
    };

    &spi2_flash0 {
            ...
    };

This should make the references to the existing nodes explicit.

Best,
Jacky
