So this means
* keeping a legacy table
* supporting both tables
* with both DT properties
* eventually refuse the legacy entries in spi-nand

Sounds like a lot of burden to me for a minor improvement. If we rename
"hw" into "on-controller" we must also add "off-controller" then, but
again, I find it confusing.

I am a bit lost on what is the "right" direction right now.
