Right (didn't spot that it was part of a series).

The node appears to describe the NAND interface itself, i.e. a part of
the SoC, so should be in the SoC dtsi file, with overrides in the board
file if necessary for it to work with a particular NAND part
(potentially utilising status="disabled"). Would you agree?
