There is another issue. Some of the old DT nodes set the NAND IO address to 0.
As we prevent mapping into first 16MB we see the following message for those nodes. e.g. dra7-evm

[    1.727598] omap-gpmc 50000000.gpmc: cannot remap GPMC CS 0 to 0x00000000
[    1.727605] omap-gpmc 50000000.gpmc: GPMC CS 0 start cannot be lesser than 0x1000000
[    1.727611] omap-gpmc 50000000.gpmc: failed to probe DT children

Hope this is good enough information that DT needs to be updated?

cheers,
