FYI, label is already defined in mtd/mtd.yaml.

Partitions do not need to be defined in your binding, just don't put
any in your example and you'll be fine. These partitions are either
static and may be described in the DT (see
mtd/partition/partition.yaml) or there is some dynamic discovery
involved and a proper parser shall be referenced (parsers have their
own binding).
