What is 'STMMAC'?  Is that something I cribbed from another file?  Ah, I
see 'spear_smi.txt' which is an NAND driver with a 'clock-frequency'
parameter (probably before 'assigned-clocks' support).

 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/spear_smi.txt

I don't think 'STMMAC' makes sense.

  +- interrupts: irq to be used

Maybe?  Same as mxc-nand.txt.  It is not so helpful though.

I guess this changed?  We might want to put a note about what kind of
impact this might have on the bus.  Ie,

 assigned-clocks: Input SOC clock to the NAND controller.
 assigned-clock-rates: The NAND bus timing is derived from this clock
    rate and should not exceed maximum timing for any NAND memory chip
    in a board stuffing.  Typical NAND memory timings derived from this
    clock are found in the SOC hardware reference manual.
 
Originally, the reason I made this file was because the
'clock-frequency' was non-standard.  I guess it is nice to have it
anyways.

Fwiw,
Bill Pringlemeir.
