Node name matching the devices please.

/stuff/linux-dt/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/atmel-nand-deprecated.yaml: title: 'Atmel NAND flash controller deprecated bindings' should not be valid under {'pattern': '([Bb]inding| [Ss]chema)'}
hint: Everything is a binding/schema, no need to say it. Describe what hardware the binding is for.

If these should not be used in new files, where are the replacement
bindings for the three devices listed here? I think, rather than being
deprecated, these are the only bindings for these devices and what you
actually want to say here is that these should not be used for /new
devices/. I'd drop mention of deprecation from the title as these
bindings are the only ones for this hardware AFAICT and just say that
new devices should be documented in $new_file.

Missing contraints.

Does this binding even allow partition child nodes? Hint: it doesn't.

Missing constraints (and maybe a type too? I dunno if "gpios" has a
special case in the -gpios regexes).

You're missing an extra permitted value for the sama5d2.

Missing a default of 8 here.

You're missing the optional child node for the "nand flash controller" on
sama5d2.

Drop the unused node name.

Please follow the coding style rather than copy-paste from the text
based binding. Applies to both examples. An example with the nfc would
be more helpful than two bindings for the same device.


Thanks,
