Actually that's the name I assign to the pin when requesting it, this
has nothing to do with a specific property containing pin names for
specific gpio retrieval (as done for clocks with clock-names).

I'll drop this nand-name property and let the NAND core code choose a
name for the MTD device according to the discovered NAND chip.
