Yes, I think dropping the "armada370-nand" compatible string would be a
good solution for 3.13. Are there any use cases where "armada370-nand"
is needed and operational on 3.12? (e.g., is 2KB page support fine?)
Because if there are *no* valid use cases for compatible =
"armada370-nand" yet, then we might want this to go to 3.12.y stable as
well, right?

Sure.

I'll take a look at your "revert" patch and see if we can get it
upstream for 3.13.

Thanks,
Brian
