Hello Marek,
it looks like commit 753395ea1e45 ("ARM: dts: imx7: Fix NAND controller
size-cells"), that was backported to stable 6.0.10, introduce a boot
regression on colibri-imx7, at least.

Any idea? I'm not familiar with the gpmi-nand driver and I would just revert it, but
maybe you have a better idea.
