I just showed you. You need to add the below lines:

allOf:
  - $ref: spi-controller.yaml#

See cdns,qspi-nor.yaml or nvidia,tegra210-quad.yaml or any of the 
multiple controller bindings we already have.

By "subclass" I did not mean a programming construct, I just meant it 
should logically be a subclass of the spi-controller.yaml binding, which 
can be done by the allOf.

Sure, but mtd.yaml (which the SPI NOR binding depends on) requires it.

Does it? I see "jedec,spi-nor" compatible documented, but not just 
"spi-nor". And I don't see "micron,mt35xu512" compatible documented 
anywhere either.

Anyway, please just use "jedec,spi-nor".
