s/nand-controller@/flash@/ (or "nand@" if you really want -- there's
enough of that in use already)

Ideally the binding should not be Linux-specific or U-Boot specific --
it's just the binding that describes this hardware.

s/manufacture/manufacturer/

No "nand-flash" compatible, as there's no standard "nand-flash" binding.
 You might want something like "nvidia,tegra20-nand-chip".

I like bytes -- makes the unit clear.

Isn't this whole file specific to the nvidia controller?
