Regression on latest barebox

Regression on latest barebox

[Alexander Shiyan]

Hello.

Latest master sources have a regression due migrate to use platform_device_register functions.
Now I cannot register cfi_flash device which resides at 0x0, because it have conflicts with "mem"
command which have same start address.
Thanks!

Or we can provide virtual bus ("system" for example) for /dev/mem device.
