So I think this might be the problem. If I look at qcom,nandc.yaml or 
ingenic,nand.yaml which both have a partitions property in their 
example. Neither have 'unevaluatedProperties: false' on the nand at ... 
subnode. If I add it sure enough I start getting complaints about the 
'partitions' node being unexpected.
