What old properties do you mean?

You shouldn't need to add anything to the list of "required" I think.

Some NVMEM providers add "#address-cells" and "#size-cells". That makes
sense if NVMEM provider must provide at least 1 cell. I'm not sure if we
need that for MTD.

Even "compatible" is actually redundant but most YAML files list it for
convenience. Source:
