No, you're right -- it should be something like nand-controller at .  For
some reason I didn't notice the node split when I wrote that.

It shouldn't be, and if it is then we should move on to a better binding
repository (Grant set up devicetree.org for this a while back, but I'm
not sure what the process is for considering a binding there to be final).
