Hi DT maintainers, It's a bit hypocritical of me, since I've been a slow reviewer as well, but... can we get some review on this one? Usually, I'm comfortable taking driver DT bindings without your review, but this one is a bit more generic and is more far-reaching than the average driver. I'm not a big fan of this change, and I don't quite understand why the bus driver (the SPI bus, which is a level up from the SPI device / MTD node) can specify its grandchildren (see spi-samsung.txt). But given the constraints, I think Michal's solution is OK. And I do agree that MTD's ofpart should be bit more specific. Anyway, a quick look and an Ack/Nak would be appreciated.
