(to be clear, this branch of discussion isn't directly regarding the TI
changes; we can handle any generic handling afterward, as long as we get
the DT binding right now)

I'm not sure what you mean by table. It seems like we would just have a
few gpio_desc pointers in struct nand_chip, no?

Right, I was thinking about this one.

Yeah, I feel like there have been other good reasons for something like
this before, and we just have worked around them so far. Maybe something
more like the alloc/add split in many other subsystems? e.g.,
platform_device_{alloc,add}, spi_{alloc,add}_device. Now we might want
nand_alloc()?
On a slight tangent, it seems silly that nand_scan_tail() doesn't
register the MTD, but nand_release() unregisters it. That shouldn't be.

That could work too, I guess.
