The reference manual states:
"16.0 NAND FLASH CONTROLLER
The NAND flash controller allows Tegra 2 Processor to access NAND flash
memories for mass storage."
So I guess "nvidia,tegra20-nand-flash-controller" would be most
explicit. But the manual also has "GPIO controller" and we use
"nvidia,tegra20-gpio" as compatible string.
I dislike nfc since it is an increasingly less known abbreviation and
not used in the reference manual at all.
"nvidia,tegra20-nand" or "nvidia,tegra20-nand-flash-controller" is fine
for me...
