Hm, I'm not even sure it has to do with the HW connection of the data lines (D0:X), probably more something related to how the flash was programmed (some people program the flash using a dedicated programmer before soldering it on the board) and the current platform endianness (which for some platforms, can be changed with a Kconfig option). > If this property is absent, flash is considered > + to be host-endian. The second sentence is no longer valid. Now, if the property is missing the behavior is platform/configuration dependent, not necessarily host-endian. > + > The device tree may optionally contain sub-nodes describing partitions of the > address space.
