That looks pretty horrible.

In U-Boot we check whether the device hanging under the controller node
is JEDEC SPI flash or CFI flash and based on that decide what the config
of the controller should be (SPI or HF). Not sure that's much better,but
at least it doesn't need extra nodes which do not really represent any
kind of real hardware.
