Subject: Re: [V8 2/2] irqchip: gicv2m: Add supports for ARM GICv2m MSI(-X)

Hi Suravee,

This looks good, I just have a few fixups that would be nice to apply
below.

It looks like this was missed when the binding was updated for multiple
frames, so:

s/revision/revisions/
s/frame/frame(s)/
s/sub-node/sub-node(s)/

- compatible: should contain "arm,gic-v2m-frame".

s/num-spi/num-spis/ please

Can we get rid of the note and reword this like:

- arm,msi-base-spi: When the MSI_TYPER register contains an incorrect
                    value, this property should contain the SPI base of
		    the MSI frame, overriding the HW value.

- arm,msi-num-spis: When the MSI_TYPER register contains an incorrect
                    value, this property should contain the number of
                    SPIs assigned to the frame, overriding the HW value.

I realise it's a little redundant, but it's very easy to miss usage
constraints in notes.

With that, for the binding:
