Nit: Please don't use the term "interrupt mapping", as it's undefined
and clashes with the "interrupt-map" property on an interrupt nexus.
There are a lot of bindings using it, and it would be nice to get them
fixed up too.

As interrupts can be described in a couple of ways it probably doesn't
make sense to state the exact format here, but could this be something
like the following instead:

- interrupts: the sole interrupt generated by the device.

I think "tune-cap" is a little terse. Also "cap" is used as an
abbreviation for "capability" elsewhere, and it would be nice to make
it clear that in this case it means "capacitor".

Could this be "ams,tuning-capacitor-pf" instead? That would make it
clear at a glance what the value is and the units (though people would
still ahve to refer to documentation to figure out precisely what this
means).

The vendor-prefix addition looks fine to me.	

Thanks,
