Hi Joel,

I realise I'm a little late in replying to this, but there are a few
things that would be nice to fix up.

Nit: s/Should be/Should contain/

Just to check: there's only one interrupt?

What name is expected here? The intent of clock-names is to describe
which clock input lines the clocks are wired to, so this should be
well-defined.

>From the looks of the example, the clock input is called "fck". Is that
correct?

When you have clock-names, the nicest thing to do is to define clocks
in terms of clock-names. Something like:

- clocks: A phandle + clock-specifier pair for each entry in
  clock-names.

- clock-names: Should contain:
  * "fck" for the functional clock

Which implies that the correct way to find clocks is to look in
clock-names first to find the clock's index, rather than grabbing the
clock by index. This makes it far easier to add/remove/change clocks in
future.

Similarly here it would be nice to have dmas refer to dma-names for
the description of which dmas exist.
