Again, "nand-flash" is not an appropriate compatible.  There is no
generic nand-flash binding.

Do you really need this stuff to be in the device tree?  You should be
able to determine this information from the ID table.

So this binding can't deal with the bad block marker being somewhere
other than the beginning of the spare area (e.g. 8-bit small page NAND)?

Number of ECC bytes per page?  Number of ECC bytes per ECC block?
Number of data bytes per ECC block?

What are tag bytes?

Doesn't the number of cells depend on the GPIO controller binding?

Might want to point out that there's one cell per timing parameter.
