This feels a bit premature. The two boards you're using have an MLC
NAND which is not supported yet. Until there's proper MLC support in
the kernel, I'm not sure we want to enable that for end-users when we
know that things will get wrong.

However, after discussing this with Boris, I appreciate that we don't
have any example available because of this policy for people that want
to opt-in anyway.

What we could do is to still mark the status as disabled in the DTS,
with a big fat warning as comment just before, so that it requires
user action, and that user will have been warned.

Would that work for you?
