In our previous discussion (https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/748901/)
We decided to have compatible strings like " compatible = "<soc-vendor>,<ip-revision>", "arasan,<ip-revision>";"
So it should be either of these.
so I will write something like below
"Possible values are "xlnx,zynqmp-nand"
"arasan,nfc-v3p10"
And in example I will mention any one compatible.
Is it ok?

Ok, will correct it in next version.

There is no way to select DMA when configuring the IP.
But it has internal DMA and there is a register to select PIO or DMA while starting a transfer.
So if user really don't want DMA, then we will never set DMA in the code based on DT property.

Ok, just now I saw Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/marvell-nand.txt, I will update it accordingly in next version.
