reset affects the whole chip and the same spi data/clock pins are
being used, so extending reg should work. The flashing cannot happen
with the same speed, though. I'm currently encoding this by using
different "spi-max-frequency" properties. I suppose I could limit
it in the driver instead. I tried to come up with an example for
your suggestion. Is this what you had in mind?

&spi_controller {
    achc@multiple {
        /* 0 = flashing interface, 1 = normal interface */
        reg = <0>, <1>;
        compatible = "ge,achc";
        reset-gpios = <&gpio42 23 ACTIVE_LOW>;
        spi-max-frequency = <42>; /* max speed for normal operation */
    };
};
