Dear Rob, and other DT maintainers,

+- onfi,nand-timing-mode : mandatory if the chip does not support the ONFI

Add to generic nand binding.

+- allwinner,rb : shall contain the native Ready/Busy ids.

+- rb-gpios : shall contain the gpios used as R/B pins.
Isn't allwinner,rb implied by a lack of rb-gpios property. Or no R/B
pin is an option? If so, don't you need some fixed time delay
properties like max erase time?

rb-gpios could be added to the generic nand binding as well.
I do _not_ think this should go into generic nand binding, as this is controller specific.
Some controllers have dedicated R/B pin (Ready/Busy) while others may use
GPIO instead. It's the way a hardware controller is designed.

Request you to please consider Ack from MTD Maintainers 'at-least' for
generic NAND DT bindings. There is already a discussion going in
a separate thread for which there are still no replies [1].
