Hi,

Please see my comments inline.

nit: Could you follow one of existing styles of DT binding
documentation? You might be able to use [1] as an example.

This diagram is still quite meaningless without proper description of
all the functionality off all the blocks and interfaces between them.

typo: Should it be "ports" instead of "portes"?

Anyway, shouldn't this be a property of larb nodes? I.e. the larb0
node would have a port-count property set to M4U_LARB0_PORT_NR.

Looking at the driver, wouldn't a 2 cell system be more appropriate
here? With first cell indexing the larbs and second the ports within
that larb.

This looks like some artificial indexing. Does it have any
correspondence with actual hardware configuration?

This convinces me even more that this binding actually needs
#iommu-cells to be 2 and the indexing system I described above.
