mtd: nand: document the NAND controller/NAND chip DT representation
Standardize the NAND controller/NAND chip DT representation. Now, all new NAND controller drivers should comply with this representation, even if they are only supporting a single NAND chip. Existing drivers can keep support for the old representation (where only the NAND chip was described), but are encouraged to also support the new one.

+NAND controller/NAND chip representation:
+
+The NAND controller should be represented with its own DT node, and all
+NAND chips attached to this controller should be defined as children nodes
+of the NAND controller. This representation should be enforced even for
+simple controllers supporting only one chip.
+
+Mandatory NAND controller properties:
+- #address-cells: depends on your controller. Should at least be 1 to
+ encode the CS line id.
+- #size-cells: depends on your controller. Put zero unless you need a
+ mapping between CS lines and dedicated memory regions
+
+Optional NAND controller properties
+- ranges: only needed if you need to define a mapping between CS lines and
+ memory regions
+
+Optional NAND chip properties:
- nand-ecc-mode : String, operation mode of the NAND ecc mode.
Supported values are: "none", "soft", "hw", "hw_syndrome", "hw_oob_first",

The interpretation of these parameters is implementation-defined, so not all
