label and partitions are defined in partitions/partition.yaml,
referenced by partitions.yaml, referenced by mtd.yaml, referenced by
nand-chip.yaml, referenced by nand-controller.yaml, itself referenced
in this file :-)
So I believe there is nothing else to add in the controller's binding
for these two properties? They are very generic, it would not be
optimal if we had to take care about them.

I did not bother converting this file yet but I actually rewrote the
corresponding Linux driver (5 years ago) entirely so I don't mind.

I don't think we ever wanted having these two compatibles to describe a
single hardware block?

Same as below, it is an array as well IIRC.

That's true, you can have either one or two members with the value
[0-1], so you need both.

The controller (and the driver) actually supports 1, 4, 8, 12, 16.

Maybe we should slightly rephrase this to avoid driver related
information.
