Actually, since nand-chip is used by both SPI and NAND, then I think
better would be to create separate file - nand-only-chip.yaml (name to
be discussed):

nand-controller.yaml:
  "^nand@[a-f0-9]$":
    $ref: nand-only-chip.yaml

nand-only-chip.yaml:
  $ref: nand-chip.yaml
  all nand-controller-chip properties follow
