The only users of the parent GPMC driver are already using
DT. The gpmc_probe_nand_child function in the GPMC driver
which calls gpmc_nand_init is already DT only.

The only other caller to gpmc_nand_init is board-flash.c.
The driver doesn't utilize xfer_type to even switch to any
other modes including DMA prefetch mode.  Looking at it
closer there isn't a dev from some kind of parent for me to
pass along. Board_nand_init which calls gpmc_nand_init just
takes raw NAND values with no relation to its parent.


With that being said are you ok with leaving it as is?
