BCM63138 is using a 7.0 controller, 6838 uses a 5.0 controller, but has
a separate flash cache register which does indeed end up at 0x400 bytes
off the main FLASH block, and finally 63268 does have a v4.0 controller
and the flash cache is also in a separate register that makes it end up
at 0x400.

Your change, as proposed would break chips like 7425 which use 5.0
controller with the flash cache at 0x200 bytes.

The binding describes an optional flash-cache register cell that you can
specify, so that's probably what you want to do here?
