If we remove the said log message and one really has a NAND installed which fails
to probe will he notice that and get the correct error code printed?
If yes, the removal won't hurt.
My point is that having non-existing hardware in the device does not make much sense.
Lot's of DTs are very generic and carry a lot of unused stuff with them,
but this is not a good practice as DTs should describe the actual hardware and not
all possible board variants.
