Two existing systems use this dtsi:

   > git grep facebook-bmc-flash-layout-128.dtsi
   arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed/aspeed-bmc-facebook-wedge400.dts:#include "facebook-bmc-flash-layout-128.dtsi"
   arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed/ast2600-facebook-netbmc-common.dtsi:#include "facebook-bmc-flash-layout-128.dtsi"

This change requires a full reflash of those devices, which is pretty
disruptive.

It seems more appropriate to me to create a separate dtsi for the new
flash layout to use in new systems.
