You're right, it doesn't seem appropriate for the mtd binding to be
selected for nodes intended to match e.g. the qcom,imem binding.

The mtd binding is $ref'ed by other bindings, similar to how we do with
other bindings of common properties.

So, I think the problem with mtd is that this ($nodename) turns into a
"select" automatically, which causes this binding to match nodes by
name, rather than just those $ref'ing it.


We should be able to avoid the automatically created select from the
$nodename, and rely on $ref, by just adding:

select: false
