I have to disagree, I will call it whatever it is called in the datasheet
and it is called "controller data area".

Why wouldn't it be possible to use the driver with no SPI NOR attached to
it? It's a cornercase, but still a valid one.

This is something Graham has to clarify. Based on the code (I'm sure you did
check the code), it's a 4:16 demuxer.

Sorry, I don't quite understand the question. If you mean why there is no
value, it's because this is a boolean OF node, which just does't need to
have a value ; it's either present or not.
