Can the flash subnode be compatible with "mtd-rom", even if the parent node
is kept disabled?

Unless you pass "clkidx" instead of "i" to of_clk_detect_critical() in [1],
and use "clock-critical = <R7S72100_CLK_SPIBSC0>" in DT?

Unfortunately the exact semantics of clock-critical were never documented.
Lee?

Thanks!
