As mentioned in patch 1, I think we should get rid of the ->flash_node
field and directly set mtd->dev.of_node instead. If we want to hide
MTD internals we could provide this kind of helper:

static inline void mtd_set_of_node(struct mtd_device *mtd,
				   struct device_node *np)
{
	mtd->dev.of_node = np;
}

For the sunxi_nand driver
