We need a more specific compatible property here since there are at
least 3 known SoCs families within Broadcom (Cygnus, BCM53xx, BCM7xxx)
that use this controller, also older versions of the core did not have a
revision register, yet they had an internal version numbering that we
might want to reflect here. This does not need to be fixed immediately
though, we can add compatible strings as we start adding support for
older cores.

I think this should be two cells, on BCM7xxx chips there is a MSPI_DONE
and a MSPI_ERROR interrupt bit, we typically only use the first one, but
since we are describing the hardware here, we need to be exhaustive.

See my reply to the patch 4, that does not seem to match the
"clock-frequency" vs. clock phandles practices in DT.

Since "interrupts" is a mandatory property you might want the example to
show it for consistency.
