Use devicetree to define NAND partitions. Use D-link partition scheme by
default, to be vaguely compatible with their userland.

This should be "okay", not "ok" -- see IEEE1275.  Or just leave it out.
Ack, but it needs to be there.  Most, but not all, kirkwood boards have
nand, so we define it in kirkwood.dtsi and set it as disabled.
Individual boards can then enable it as needed.

As for 'okay', looks like we may need to patch of_device_is_available()
in drivers/of/base.c (~284) if we want to be consistent with IEEE1275.
No need to change of_device_is_available() -- it handles the
standards-compliant "okay" as well as "ok" which is non-compliant but
probably exists in some broken real OF trees (and even if not, it's bad
to break compatibility with older device trees without a good reason).

Maybe add a comment indicating which should be used.
I need to re-jig this part anyway, so will update to "okay" too---looks 
like a fairly harmless change.

Would it make sense to change drivers/of/base.c to emit a warning if "ok" 
is used? Or are there already too many devicetrees in the wild that use 
"ok"?
