If I have a nand-chip { partitions {} } described in the dts U-Boot
(even the latest one) ignores it and generates the partition as child of
the nand controller, the linux parser however see that partitions{}
exists, even if empty, and ignore the partition directly defined as
child of the nand controller.

TL;DR: parser fails and boot fails according to that.
