It would be better to split each of the above out into a separate patch for
easier review, and send them along with the driver changes.

You need to document what each of the cells are for. In your
example, the second cell is always zero, is that intentional?

These are in the wrong order, the most generic one (cdns,sd4hc) always
comes last.

If you add the string in the example, it also has to be an option in the
actual binding, otherwise neither the example nor your dtb would
be valid.

You also wouldn't find a controller that is compatible with both the uniphier
variant and the elba variant, unless your 'elba' SoC is strictly derived from
Socionext's Uniphier products and inherits all the quirks in its sdhci
implementation that were not already part of Cadence's IP block.

This does not look specific enough: There is no guarantee that this
is the only time Pensando uses any Cadenci qspi block. If the company
is not yet out of business, you should be prepared for future products
and have the name of the chip in there as well.

spin-table is not really something we want to see for new machines.
Please add proper psci support to your boot loader.

These properties are usually board specific, and should be moved into the
.dts file.

These don't seem to have a binding document, which needs to be added
first. What is a Pensando "cpld"? Is it possible that there will be multiple
versions of it that need to be uniquely identified?

Missing binding again. Since you name this a UIO device, I assume this
is actually tied to a particular Linux device driver and exported to user
space. The information in the dts should however not assume a particular
OS implementation but describe the platform.

Is this for PCI MSI? If so, I would recommend just using the GICv3 that you
also have, and leave this device completely unused.

In either case, please leave out the device node until a binding has
been agreed and a matching kernel driver was reviewed (if any)

Leave this one out as well, this has to be reviewed in combination with the
PCI driver.

This does not follow the PCI host bridge binding. Leave it out for now,
and bring it back once you have a proper PCI driver.
