Right.

ACPI does not have equivalents for OF phandles. That's the background of the
problem. The port and endpoint references are a bit special: there'a a
device reference and indices of the port and the endpoint nodes.

I think you can just use the OF API for the time being until we define how
to describe flash devices with ACPI. The difference with ACPI will be
visible there almost no matter what do you do there, which is one more
reason to have that functionality in the framework (and not drivers).
