Sigh. The new bindings seem to never have been reviewed by any device
tree maintainers, and from the look of it, it might need some
discussion. It wasn't even cc:d to devicetree-discuss.

It's completely inappropriate to merge a patch like this at this time
without any kind of acks from the people reviewing bindings. Can it
please be dropped ASAP from the MTD tree? Thanks!

Or, if you want it in different wording: The mtd-tree patch is a
strong NAK until this has been sorted out.

It was also applied today, after the merge window opened. Don't merge
it for 3.11. Artem?
