You mean pinctrl-names and pinctrl-0, right? Not sure it's necessary to
document that, but if you do, please use the correct DT prop names.

One too many blank lines here.

Drop nand-ecc- props. I guess you have a sensible default value and I
prefer when ECC requirements are directly extracted during chip
detection. Defining that in the DT is a bad habit. The only one that
could make sense (assuming you support it) is nand-ecc-maximize.

Please drop this property (it's not longer documented).

No need to define the partitions in your example, especially since they
should be placed in a partitions subnode with a "fixed-partitions"
compat.
