+  Required properties:
+  - compatible : should be "ibm,ndfc".
+  - reg : should contain address and length of the NDFC registers.
+  
+  ndfc node should contain at least one ndfc-mtd sub-node describing
+  chip properties and bank settings for the chip(s) attached to particular
+  ndfc bank(s).
+
+  Required ndfc-mtd properties:
+  - bank-map : at least one value (less than number of NDFC banks available)
+    identifying bank number the chip is attached to. If we have several
+    identical chips and want to spread a single mtd device across all of them,
+    we need to specify here the bank numbers the chips are attached to.
+    E.g. "bank-map = <0 3>;" means a single mtd device will be created 
+    for 2 identical NAND chips attached to banks 0 and 3 of the NDFC.
+  Optional ndfc-mtd properties:
+  - chip-options : NAND chip options.
+  - chip-delay : NAND chip delay. Default is 50us.
+  - bank-settings : NDFC bank settings for the chip(s). This value is
+    written to the NDFC Bank Configuration Register.
+    If not specified, the default timings (RR=RWH=RWP=CRW=2) and 
+    bank width from the "bank-width" property will be used for the chip.
+  - bank-width : NAND chip bus width. Should be 1 for 8-bit NAND or 
+    2 for 16-bit NAND. By default an 8-bit width is set.
+  - #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the flash has
+    sub-nodes representing partitions (see below).  In this case
+    both #address-cells and #size-cells must be equal to 1.
+  
+  ndfc_mtd can have partition sub-nodes, which are described the same way
+  as for the CFI or JEDEC memory-mapped NOR flash.
+
+   Example (Sequoia 440EPx):
+   NDFC is relocatable within EBC and should have EBC as a parent node.
+   Here we have NDFC on EBC CS3 bank and one NAND chip attached to bank 3
+   of the NanD Flash Controller:
+
+		ndfc at 0,0 {
+			compatible = "ibm,ndfc-440epx", "ibm,ndfc";
+			reg = <3 000000 2000>;
+			ndfc-mtd0 {
+				bank-settings = <80002222>;
+				bank-map = <3>;
+				chip-delay = <32>;
+				#address-cells = <1>;
+				#size-cells = <1>;
+				partition at 0 {
+					label = "u-boot-nand";
+					reg = <0 0080000>;
+				};
+				partition at 80000 {
+					label = "kernel-nand";
+					reg = <0080000 0180000>;
+				};
+				partition at 200000 {
+					label = "filesystem";
+					reg = <0200000 1e00000>;
+				};
+			};
+		};
+
+
    More devices will be defined as this spec matures.
