So, your NOR is mapped at: 0xbfc00000 + 16*1024 - 0x00200000 = 0xbfa04000 ?
Wouldn't it be simpler to get your hardware engineer(s) to map the NOR
flash to a saner address? e.g. 0xbfc00000.

You'll probably have to add an entry for the chip in
linux/drivers/mtd/chips/jedec_probe.c and create a mapping driver
(plenty of really simple examples in linux/drivers/mtd/maps/).
