Yes, there is only one clock associated with the NAND controller. The
clock is called "NAND Flash Controller" clock by the datasheet.

They are probably not necessary and will be removed as suggested by
Boris Brezillon.

OK. If I keep this property, I will change it to
samsung,ignore-unset-ecc.

I'll evaluate if this property is really necessary, as suggested by
Boris Brezillon.

OK.
