I think you're going to need a bunch more dependencies if you use
COMPILE_TEST. Otherwise we're going to get all kinds of build failure
reports.

Maybe use the gpiod_*() API since the old one is new deprecated?

I think it's been more common to have something like this:

        tegra20.dtsi:

                nand-controller@70008000 {
                        compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-nand";
                        ...
                };

        tegra30.dtsi:

                nand-controller@70008000 {
                        compatible = "nvidia,tegra30-nand", 
"nvidia,tegra20-nand";
                        ...
                };

The idea being that if the Tegra30 variant is indeed compatible with the
Tegra20 variant, the driver can match on "nvidia,tegra20-nand". But at
the same time the DTB has the more specific compatible in case the
driver ever needs to handle generation-specific quirks, or implement any
additional functionality added in Tegra30 that wasn't available in early
generations.

Yes, that sounds like the best option for now.
