This should be someone responsible for hardware, not subsystem
maintainer. Unless by coincidence Miquel matches both. :)

Does not look like you tested the bindings. Please run `make
dt_binding_check` (see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-schema.rst for instructions).

These two are just enum.

Drop, comes with nand-controller.yaml

You need allOf:if:then restricting it further per variant.

The message is confusing. What is mandatory if there is a second clock?
Plus, the binding requires two clocks.

Drop entire description.

minItems: 1

Why this is const?

Drop quotes

unevalautedProperties: false

and then you will see errors, because you referenced schema for one
partition.

Drop these two - required by nand-controller.

Use 4 spaces for example indentation.
