I see. So i need to implement processing of this property here? And if it
is missed -> use software waiting. I think interesting thing will be that:

1) Even with support of this property here, I really don't know how to pass
   RB values to this controller - I just have define for RB command and that's
   it. I found that this property is an array of u32 - IIUC each element is
   RB pin per chip. May be i need to dive into the old vendor's driver to find
   how to use RB values (although this driver uses software waiting so I'm not
   sure that I'll find something in it).
2) I can't test RB mode - I don't have such device :( 

Also for example in arasan-nand-controller.c parsed 'nand-rb' values are used
in controller specific register for waiting (I guess Meson controller has something
like that, but I don't have doc). While in marvell_nand.c it looks like that they parse
'nand-rb' property, but never use it.

You mean to add this property desc to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/amlogic,meson-nand.yaml ?

Thanks, Arseniy
