Document the legacy and the new bindings for Marvell NAND controller.
The pxa3xx_nand.c driver does only support legacy bindings, which are
incomplete and inaccurate. A rework of this controller (called
marvell_nand.c) does support both.

+Marvell NAND Flash Controller (NFC)
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: can be one of the following:
+ * "marvell,armada-8k-nand-controller"
+ * "marvell,armada370-nand-controller"
+ * "marvell,pxa3xx-nand-controller"
+ * "marvell,armada-8k-nand" (deprecated)
+ * "marvell,armada370-nand" (deprecated)
+ * "marvell,pxa3xx-nand" (deprecated)
+- reg: NAND flash controller memory area.
+- #address-cells: shall be set to 1. Encode the NAND CS.
+- #size-cells: shall be set to 0.
+- interrupts: shall define the NAND controller interrupt.
+- clocks: shall reference the NAND controller clock.
+- marvell,system-controller: Set to retrieve the syscon node that handles
+ NAND controller related registers (only required with the
+ "marvell,armada-8k-nand[-controller]" compatibles).
+
+Optional properties:
+- label: see partition.txt. New platforms shall omit this property.
+- dmas: shall reference DMA channel associated to the NAND controller.
+- dma-names: shall be "rxtx".
+
+Optional children nodes:
+Children nodes represent the available NAND chips.
+
+Required properties:
+- reg: shall contain the native Chip Select ids (0-3)
+- marvell,rb: shall contain the native Ready/Busy ids (0-1)
+
+Optional properties:
+- marvell,nand-keep-config: orders the driver not to take the timings
+ from the core and leaving them completely untouched. Bootloader
+ timings will then be used.
+- nand-on-flash-bbt: see nand.txt.
+- nand-ecc-mode: see nand.txt. Will use hardware ECC if not specified.
+- nand-ecc-algo: see nand.txt. This property may be added when using
+ hardware ECC for clarification but will be ignored by the driver
+ because ECC mode is chosen depending on the page size and the strength
+ required by the NAND chip. This value may be overwritten with
+ nand-ecc-strength property.
+- nand-ecc-strength: see nand.txt.
+- nand-ecc-step-size: see nand.txt. This has no effect and will be
+ ignored by the driver when using hardware ECC because Marvell's NAND
+ flash controller does use fixed strength (1-bit for Hamming, 16-bit
+ for BCH), so the step size will shrink or grow in order to fit the
+ required strength. Step sizes are not completely random for all and
+ follow certain patterns described in AN-379, "Marvell SoC NFC ECC".
+
+See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/nand.txt for more details on
+generic bindings.
+
+
+Example:
+nand_controller: nand-controller@d0000 {
+ compatible = "marvell,armada370-nand-controller";
+ reg = <0xd0000 0x54>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 84 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+ clocks = <&coredivclk 0>;
+
+ nand@0 {
+ reg = <0>;
+ marvell,rb = <0>;
+ nand-ecc-mode = "hw";
+ marvell,nand-keep-config;
+ nand-on-flash-bbt;
+ nand-ecc-strength = <4>;
+ nand-ecc-step-size = <512>;
+
+ partitions {
+ compatible = "fixed-partitions";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+
+ partition@0 {
+ label = "Rootfs";
+ reg = <0x00000000 0x40000000>;
+ };
+ };
+ };
+};
