aspeed: create mapping regions for the maximum number of slaves

The SMC controller on the Aspeed SoC has a set of registers to
configure the mapping of each flash module in the SoC address
space. These mapping windows are configurable even though no SPI slave
is attached to the controller.

Also rewrite a bit the comments in the code on this topic.
