Using "git format-patch -M" might show this as a file move/rename rather
than a delete/add, which would be useful to highlight any changes you
made at the same time.

Here, isn't 3,0 the aemif chip-select ID that is decoding the NAND accesses?

So I don't understand why that chipselect property is needed, or has a
different value. Is this muxing the AEMIF output chip-selects onto
different SoC package pins or something? Seems like a job for pinctrl
perhaps?
