It is repeated because it won't be used the same way. The node name
will only be relevant in the DT itself (to reference a node for
instance). I will also appear in the sysfs.

The compatibles are listed in drivers and "given" to the kernel core so
that the device-driver association can take place.

I think this is clear as you already put "multi-itfc" in the name. If
you want you can switch to "morph" in the prefix, but I want the suffix
to be "-nand-controller".
