History should not be put above the '---' cut line; it should be below.

Yes, please, as it's a new commit (commit message has changed).

This part does not go in the changelog -- it should be below the --- line.

This was meant for the changelog, not the code.  For the code, it seems
reasonably self-explanatory that if you don't have
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ENABLE_PIN, you don't use it.

If you want to put a short comment in the code about this situation, fine
(though it really belongs in a README that documents
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ENABLE_PIN instead), but the text above should go in the git
changelog.
