Why do you need a compatible here? All sub-nodes should be representing
NAND devices connected to the NAND controller. If you need an extra
subnode to represent something that is not a NAND device, then it should
not have a reg property, so testing if reg is present to detect if the
subnode is reprensenting a NAND device should be enough.

Am I missing something?
