Where are they? Did you drop them in v6?

Where? This cannot be silently dropped!

Is it correct person for Marvell NAND? This should be not a subsystem
maintainer, but a device maintainer.

You miss here deprecated compatibles, which are BTW still used. Don't
drop properties and compatibles during conversion.

Missing minItems: 1

Missing unevaluatedProperties: false on this level.

It's an array, so this does not sound right. You might want to put it
under items:. Then you also miss min/maxItems.

I doubt that you tested it in above variant...
