I'm pretty sure I didn't make a single suggestion about the DT
bindings you use here ;-).

I'll comment on this aspect in more details when replying to the cover
letter, but I think you should re-use the bindings defined in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/atmel-quadspi.txt (IOW, move the
existing file to the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi directory).

It's the same HW block, and just because you develop a new driver to
replace the old one doesn't mean you should have 2 different bindings in
parallel.

"winbond,w25m02gv" is undocumented and unnecessary since SPI NANDs are
automatically detected. Also, maybe you should declare a SPI NOR in the
example since SPI NAND support has not yet been merged.
