The chip-delay property defines an appropriate maximum delay 
time (tR) required for read operations if the R/B pin is not
connected. It's used as shown below:

+		/* Note: NAND support needs to be enabled in U-Boot */
+		upm@3,0 {

+			compatible = "fsl,upm-nand";

+			fsl,upm-addr-offset = <0x10>;
+			fsl,upm-cmd-offset = <0x08>;
+			chip-delay = <25>; // in micro-seconds
+
+			nand@0 {
+				#address-cells = <1>;
+				#size-cells = <1>;
+
+				partition@0 {
+					    label = "fs";
+					    reg = <0x00000000 0x01000000>;
+				};
+			};
+		};
+	};
+

Strictly speaking, it's a property of the NAND device. Therefore it 
should be inside the node nand@0, I thhink:

+			nand@0 {
+				#address-cells = <1>;
+				#size-cells = <1>;
+			        chip-delay = <25>; // in micro-seconds
+
+				partition@0 {
+					    label = "fs";
+					    reg = <0x00000000 0x01000000>;
+				};
+			};

Where should that be documented?

Wolfgang.
