Nice and clean DTS, just a couple of comments below.

This should have a more specific compatible as the first one. Probably
something like:
   compatible = "adapteva,parallella", "xlnx,zynq-7000";

Does the bootloader update this entry, or is it truly static? If it's
updated then it's become recent habit to leave the memory size empty
in the static file.

A bit more torn on this one, I'm OK with it staying in even if
firmware overrides for all practical purposes since it's good to keep
around for reference w.r.t. console. Note that we're starting to move
over to using /chosen/stdout-path, so you might want to add that now
instead of later.
