This is implied and can be removed.

If the clock just goes to the OneNAND device, then it should be in the 
nand device node rather than the controller node.

This implies some child nodes. What are the child nodes?

(Trying hard to recall the details about this hardware.)
AFAIR the clock goes to the controller and the controller then feeds
it to the memory chips.

Also I don't think we should have any nand device nodes here, since
the memory itself is only exposed via the controller, which offers
various queries to probe the memory at runtime, so there is no need to
describe it in DT.

I can't recall the reason for this unfortunately.

It's probably true, though not providing this controller/device
separation for NAND controller/devices has proven to be a mistake for
raw NAND controllers (some props apply to the controllers and others to
the NAND device, not to mention that some controllers support
interacting with several chips), so, if that's a new binding, I'd
recommend having this separation even if it's not strictly required.

Defining partitions I guess, but we ask people to use the new
representation with a 'partitions' sub-node now, so this should
probably be dropped.

Note that OneNAND is a totally different thing than the typical NAND
memory with NAND interface. OneNAND chips have a NOR-like interface,
with internal controller and buffers inside, so technically they can
be even used without any special controller on the SoC, via a generic
parallel host interface and possibly some regular DMA engine for CPU
offload.

The controller design of the SoCs in question further abstracts the
OneNAND's programming interface into a number of high level operations
and attempts to hide the details of the underlying memory, so I don't
see the point of describing the memory in DT here, it would actually
defeat the purpose of this controller.

Yes, I know that.

I don't see how having a subnode for the NAND chip would change
anything on how the controller interacts with the NAND device. My point
is, if we ever need to add props that apply to the device rather than
the controller itself, having a single node to represent both elements
is not that great.

You mean, just having a very generic onenand@0 node that doesn't
really include any information, except maybe the partition table? I
guess that wouldn't have any negative side effects indeed.

My point was that we don't want to put things like chip vendor, size,
etc. in DT, since that's enumerable.

Oh, definitely not, and that's exactly how we do it for NAND devices.
Everything that's discoverable is not described in the DT, but some
things can't be discovered this way (like when you want to override the
ECC strength and use SW-based implem instead of the HW-based one). I
know none of this applies to OneNAND yet, I'm just over-cautious about
that since DT bindings changes are hard to make once the bindings are
in use.

+Device tree bindings for Samsung SoC OneNAND controller
+

+
+ - reg : two memory mapped register regions:

+   - second and next entries: memory windows of particular OneNAND chips;
