"nfc" already means nand flash controller, no need to suffix it with
-nand, "cdns,hpnfc" should be enough.

Please name the register ranges.

The unit of those props is not defined, and if possible I'd like to
avoid specifying custom timing adjustment values in the DT. Looks like
some of these values are SoC specific (depends on the integration of
this IP in a SoC) and others are board specific. For SoC specific
values, this should be attached to the SoC specific compatible at the
driver level. For board-specific values, I'd prefer to have a generic
way to describe boards constraints. 

Please point to the generic bindings to describe NAND chip
representation under the NAND controller node.

Add a NAND chip in the example.

Moving SoC specific delays from DTS to the driver data is clear for me. I do not know how to handle a board delay. Could you give me an example how it may be implemented? Where this board related stuff could be placed?
