Could you change the binding document with the vendor prefix to match 
all the other drivers we have been submitting? ie. "brcm,brcmnand.txt"

The problem with devicetree binding is there is no standard for much of 
anything.  Some others use the vendor prefix for all their binding 
documentation.  We can try to do the same?

Ok, but we already have 3 versions for Broadcom. I can use 'brcm,' if
that helps...

Yes, it helps if we try standardizing on the brcm vendor prefix in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt.  If you sift
through the bindings directory you will find some of the other vendors
have done the same.

Also, of note.
In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt
it states the Documentation should be the first patch in the series.
Perhaps this helps the devicetree maintainer in reviewing bindings?

+* Broadcom STB NAND Controller
+
+The Broadcom Set-Top Box NAND controller supports low-level access to raw NAND
+flash chips. It has a memory-mapped register interface for both control
+registers and for its data input/output buffer. On some SoCs, this controller is
+paired with a custom DMA engine (inventively named "Flash DMA") which supports
+basic PROGRAM and READ functions, among other features.
+
+This controller was originally designed for STB SoCs (BCM7xxx) but is now
+available on a variety of Broadcom SoCs, including some BCM3xxx, BCM63xx, and
+iProc/Cygnus. Its history includes several similar (but not fully register
+compatible) versions.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible       : should contain "brcm,brcmnand" and an appropriate version
+                      compatibility string, like "brcm,brcmnand-v7.0"
+                      Possible values:
+                         brcm,brcmnand-v4.0
+                         brcm,brcmnand-v5.0
+                         brcm,brcmnand-v6.0
+                         brcm,brcmnand-v7.0
+                         brcm,brcmnand-v7.1
+                         brcm,brcmnand
+- reg              : the register start and length for NAND register region.
+                     (optional) Flash DMA register range (if present)
+                     (optional) NAND flash cache range (if at non-standard offset)
+- reg-names        : a list of the names corresponding to the previous register
+                     ranges. Should contain "nand" and (optionally)
+                     "flash-dma" and/or "nand-cache".
+- interrupts       : The NAND CTLRDY interrupt and (if Flash DMA is available)
+                     FLASH_DMA_DONE
+- interrupt-names  : May be "nand_ctlrdy" or "flash_dma_done"

+* NAND chip-select
+
+Each controller (compatible: "brcm,brcmnand") may contain one or more subnodes
+to represent enabled chip-selects which (may) contain NAND flash chips. Their
+properties are as follows.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible                : should contain "brcm,nandcs"
+- reg                       : a single integer representing the chip-select
+                              number (e.g., 0, 1, 2, etc.)
+- #address-cells            : see partition.txt
+- #size-cells               : see partition.txt
+- nand-ecc-strength         : see nand.txt
+- nand-ecc-step-size        : must be 512 or 1024. See nand.txt
+
+Optional properties:
+- nand-on-flash-bbt         : boolean, to enable the on-flash BBT for this
+                              chip-select. See nand.txt
+- brcm,nand-oob-sector-size : integer, to denote the spare area sector size
+                              expected for the ECC layout in use. This size, in
+                              addition to the strength and step-size,
+                              determines how the hardware BCH engine will lay
+                              out the parity bytes it stores on the flash.
+                              This property can be automatically determined by
+                              the flash geometry (particularly the NAND page
+                              and OOB size) in many cases, but when booting
+                              from NAND, the boot controller has only a limited
+                              number of available options for its default ECC
+                              layout.
+
+Each nandcs device node may optionally contain sub-nodes describing the flash
+partition mapping. See partition.txt for more detail.
