The ChromeOS user-space just uses flashrom to send a raw stream of bytes
via spidev to the SPI NOR flash chip. There is drivers/mtd/spi-nor/spi-nor.c
but AFAIU there are some limitations when interfacing the flash through
the MTD layer, for example there isn't a way to set the SPI flash write
protection through MTD. But I'll do some investigation before re-spinning
the patches.
BTW, the other "rohm,dh2228fv" compatible string in spidev added by commit
8fad805bdc52 ("spi: spidev: Add Rohm DH2228FV DAC compatible string"), also
does not have a documented DT binding so that should be fixed as well.
Best regards,
Javier
