I proposed a patch series [0] to fix this for SPI NOR, which can be used
here as well. A re-roll is long overdue though. Let me see when I can
find time to get to it. In the meantime, this should be fine IMO.

Thanks for the bindings conversion patch. There are several comments
below. But before addressing them it would be better to also get a
response from Rob.

Since it's an SPI-client device there are more than these properties
could be set for it. See the SPI-controller bindings schema:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-controller.yaml
So there is two possible ways to make it more generic:
1) Detach the spi-client part from the spi-controller.yaml bindings
into a dedicated DT-schema file and refer to that new scheme from
here.
2) Forget about these controller-specific properties and let the
parental SPI-controller bindings parsing them. Of course there must be
at least one of the next properties declared for it to work:
{unevaluatedProperties, additionalProperties}.

It's up to Rob to decided which approach is better though...

Aren't they always equal to 1?

I'd suggest to elaborate the way the partition sub-nodes looks
like, for instance, the node names, supported compatible names,
labels, etc.

My bot found errors running 'make DT_CHECKER_FLAGS=-m dt_binding_check'
on your patch (DT_CHECKER_FLAGS is new in v5.13):

yamllint warnings/errors:

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1530166

This check can fail if there are any dependencies. The base for a patch

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit.

Yes, as mentioned there's patches doing this. But the above is fine.
There's some value in defining here which properties are valid.

That should probably all be in mtd.yaml. The question here is whether
partitions are always under a 'partitions' node. Maybe this is new
enough that only the new way has to be supported. Though if mtd.yaml
supported both forms, allowing both all the time is okay IMO.

Yeah, we have SPI NANDs >4GB, and "'#address-cells': true" allows those
sizes.

I had added the "partition" node properties in the v1 patch, but as per
the reviews I removed it.
I think we can prefer having them in mtd.yaml if needed, in a separate
patch series.
Do you prefer the mtd.yaml changes as a part of this series or as a
separate patch?

Other than that, I don't find any need for a v3 patch re-roll, do you agree?
