Thank you for the reminder, I have now reverted commit 90103611d573 ("ARM: dts:
BCM5301X: Fix DTC warning for NAND node"), which caused the problem.

The patch was meant to fix a different warning

Warning (avoid_unnecessary_addr_size):
/nand-controller@18028000/nand@0: unnecessary
#address-cells/#size-cells without "ranges" or child "reg" property

but I don't see that here, so I don't know if it was actually required.

Arınç, Rafał, Florian: if the original problem comes back now, please
send a follow-up patch
that addresses all the warnings.
