I am not able to reproduce this error and in general I don't understand
it. There is no relationship between this change and
snps,dw-apb-ssi.yaml. Also the fact that nand-chip-yaml do not exist,
it was just created in the patch before so I wonder how much I should
trust this error.

Also, maybe I am not using the tools properly, but it is very hard to
send correct bindings at the first try. Running make dt_binding_check
takes ages, any change in one yaml file will recheck the entire data
base and filtering out on a single yaml file is generally too
restrictive and still prints unrelated errors of syntax on other files.
I don't know how much of this is actually expected and/or if someone is
working on it.

Thanks,
Miquèl
