Hi Boris,

Standardize the NAND controller/NAND chip DT representation. Now, all new
NAND controller drivers should comply with this representation, even if
they are only supporting a single NAND chip.

Existing drivers can keep support for the old representation (where only
the NAND chip was described), but are encouraged to also support the new
one.

Did you mean "chip specific properties"?
