 I tried this first, but it didn't work, and ranges translation
gave me something really weird (like addr = 0x80 and
size = 0x04000004). I decided not to dig deeply into
"ranges" processing, but just followed GPMC approach. They say
that first number is range ID and second number is offset within
the range. And it just worked.

 But it's srom-config, and not srom-timing anymore. So do you want
two properties like srom-timing + srom-page-mode (with vendor prefix
of course)?

 I've seen the actual SROMc settings in some old Android kernels, like 3.0.4.
But they are not documented there, no comments, just #define's.
 Ok, i'll try to take a look how to minimize the actual information. :)

 I know, sorry, this is MS Outlook (not Express), and it's impossible
to configure it this way (if i just set up word wrap, it starts to
corrupt patches). I am now trying to wrap the text by hands, i hope
it's better. And i cannot use anything else because... You know why. :)
