In fact, the SC520 has three possible flash banks that should be probed,
instead of the single hard coded one:

Registers are
BOOTCS (MMCR offs 0x50), ROMCS1 (MMCR offs 0x54), ROMCS2 (MMCR offs 0x56)

and one of PAR0-PAR15 (32bit registers at 0x88-0xc4) - The highest 3 bit
describe the target, 100 is BOOTCS, 101 is ROMCS1, 110 is ROMCS2

See Élan™ SC520 Microcontroller Register Set Manual

The Linux MTD mapping driver suggests changing the default mapping of
those areas for some interesting reasons. We might take the chance to
unify the ROM mappings on all SC520 boards.
