Ah, I forgot about that problem. That seems like an OF infrastructure
issue that could be fixed. We could lump these drivers back together,
and make sure that "brcm,nand-iproc" gets the priority in the
of_device_id list.

Or we could just relax the DT binding.

But wait, wouldn't cygnus already have that problem? You're using the
binding I suggested in arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm-cygnus.dtsi.

Oh, and I see we hacked this one in drivers/mtd/nand/brcmnand/Makefile:

  # link order matters; don't link the more generic brcmstb_nand.o before the
  # more specific iproc_nand.o, for instance
