Subject: [PATCH 5/6] mtd: spi-nor: aspeed: Don't automatically attach reserved chips

With this change, any flash chips under the controller that are marked
with a DT status of "reserved" will be created, but not automatically
attached.  Userspace can later request that they be attached using the
attach_chip sysfs file.

This is to accommodate situations where a chip may be (for example)
shared with another controller external to the SoC and require
userspace to arbitrate access to it prior to actually attaching it.
(such as a firmware SPI flash shared between a BMC and the host
system).
