Changes for v5:
- replace "_" by "-" in all properties
- change compatible name from cdns,hpnfc to cdns,hp-nfc
Changes for v4:
- add commit message
Changes for v3:
- add unit suffix for board_delay
- move child description to proper place
- remove prefix cadence_ for reg and sdma fields
Changes for v2:
- remove chip dependends parameters from dts bindings
- add names for register ranges in dts bindings
- add generic bindings to describe NAND chip representation

+* Cadence NAND controller
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible : "cdns,hp-nfc"
+  - reg : Contains two entries, each of which is a tuple consisting of a
+	  physical address and length. The first entry is the address and
+	  length of the controller register set. The second entry is the
+	  address and length of the Slave DMA data port.
+  - reg-names: should contain "reg" and "sdma"
+  - interrupts : The interrupt number.
+  - clocks: phandle of the controller core clock (nf_clk).
+
+Optional properties:
+  - dmas: shall reference DMA channel associated to the NAND controller
+  - cdns,board-delay-ps : Estimated Board delay. The value includes the total
+    round trip delay for the signals and is used for deciding on values
+    associated with data read capture. The example formula for SDR mode is
+    the following:
+    board delay = RE#PAD delay + PCB trace to device + PCB trace from device
+    + DQ PAD delay
+
+Child nodes represent the available NAND chips.
+
+Required properties of NAND chips:
+  - reg: shall contain the native Chip Select ids from 0 to max supported by
+    the cadence nand flash controller
+
+
+See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/nand.txt for more details on
+generic bindings.
+
+Example:
+
+nand_controller: nand-controller @60000000 {
+	  compatible = "cdns,hp-nfc";
+	  reg = <0x60000000 0x10000>, <0x80000000 0x10000>;
+	  reg-names = "reg", "sdma";
+	  clocks = <&nf_clk>;
+	  cdns,board-delay-ps = <4830>;

Are you sure you want to export this to the user? Not sure it is easily
understandable and tunable... I'm not against but I would have troubles
tuning it myself, unless using the documented value. Maybe you should
explain more how to derive it?

I need to export this parameter somehow. The default value may not be
valid for other platforms. 
This value depends on platform, and may be different on different SoCs. 
So I think the DTS is the best place to put such configuration
parameter.

The rest looks fine, let's see if Rob agrees. Maybe he will request a
yaml schema; in this case you can check sunxi NAND bindings which
already have been converted.
