Just as Artem suggested:
"Both UBI and JFFS2 are able to read verify what they wrote already.
There are also MTD tests which do this verification. So I think there
is no reason to keep this in the NAND layer, let alone wasting RAM in
the driver to support this feature. Besides, it does not work for sub-pages
and many drivers have it broken. It hurts more than it provides benefits."
So kill MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE entirely.

Add device tree bindings so that the gpio-nand driver may be
instantiated from the device tree. This also allows the partitions
to be specified in the device tree.
v7: - restore runtime device tree/non device tree detection
v6: - convert to mtd_device_parse_register()
v5: - fold dt config helpers into a single gpio_nand_of_get_config()
v4: - get io sync address from gpio-control-nand,io-sync-reg
property rather than a resource
- clarified a few details in the binding
v3: - remove redundant cast and a couple of whitespace/naming
changes
v2: - add CONFIG_OF guards for non-dt platforms
- compatible becomes gpio-control-nand
- clarify some binding details

The older add_mtd_device()/add_mtd_partitions() and their removal
counterparts will soon be gone. Replace uses with mtd_device_register()
and mtd_device_unregister().
