I think this patch might be deserving of a review by the device-tree mailing list. (It also doesn't deserve to die in MTD purgatory.)

In case that the nand device will support some features like Nand Flash Controller, we want to make the sub feature as a sub node of nand device. Use such organization it is easy to enable/disable feature, also it is back compatible and more readable. If the sub-node has a compatible property then it is a driver not partition.
