This is because as per the controller specification access to flash connected at CS1 can be performed under range of FSPI_ FLSHA1CR0 and FSPI_ FLSHA2CR0.

Don't you have a way to set an offset to apply to the address accessed
through the AHB? And if you don't, how will it work if your mapping
is smaller than the flash size?
