Sorry for this mess, I was confused with the "label" and "partitions"
because I got errors about these properties when I used only
"additionalProperties: false", so I tried to put reference to partition.yaml.

Then I looked at other nand-controllers schemas and I did not find inclusion of partition.yaml
for them so I decided to just drop it at all. My understanding is that "additionalProperties:false"
is needed for nand@ if to have "label" and "partitions" properties, otherwise it is not needed.
