Do you (or someone else here) have access to the IEEE1275 specification ? Is
there any ROM binding in there ?

We're talking about a very specific type of RAM, used for permanent storage
with a battery backup. The RAM is really meant to be used as an MTD device
and as such I think it makes sense to describe it as an mtd-compatible device
on the local bus.
What about the following definition for the RAM node ?
[EMAIL PROTECTED],0000 {
compatible = "mtd,ram";
reg = <2 0x0000 0x00100000>;
bank-width = <2>;
};
Or should the node have a device-type property of either 'ram' or 'rom' with
the compatible property just referencing MTD ?
