No, the node below is not acceptable. And you have already got two
reasons for that. Let me repeat them for you:

- it is "okay" not "ok"
- no underscores in node names.

If you want to have a more meaningful discussion, please provide full
ECC + NAND + SPI DT bindings, only then we can discuss them.
