Is it encouraged to use the specific compatible with SPI-NOR flashes?
As far as I know it isn't. The spi-nor subsys tries hard to identify
any flashes at runtime and any additional information in the device tree
is used as a last resort (just for flashes which doesn't support the
read jedec id command yet). And usually boards have different sources
for flash chips, so hardcoding a particular part in the device tree
doesn't make sense.

just my 2 cents,
