I do think this should go into generic nand binding, as this is controller specific.
Some controllers have dedicated R/B pin (Ready/Busy) while others may use
GPIO instead. It's the way a hardware controller is designed.

Request you to please consider Ack from MTD Maintainers 'at-least' for
generic NAND DT bindings. There is already a discussion going in
a separate thread for which is still not awaiting replies [1].
