By the way, I wonder if this patch should be accompanied by a patch adding the 
mediatek,mt8192-nor standalone compatible as deprecated in the dt-binding. I
feel like the answer is in theory yes, but in practice no.

The fact that the mediatek,mt8192-nor standalone compatible was accepted in the
devicetree means that it should show in the dt-binding, since it's an acceptable
binding. But since the binding already shows up there with a fallback binding,
then this standalone binding should be considered deprecated.

But in practice, the mediatek,mt8192-nor is the more specific binding so
documenting its standalone use as deprecated wouldn't accomplish much.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Nícolas
