Hi,

Please see my comments inline.

Shouldn't it be "of this local arbiter"?

This is incorrect. Device tree source authors are free to use any
labels for their nodes and documentation should not rely on the fact
that there is some node with some particular label. This should be
something like:

- smi : a phandle to node of XYZ

with proper description of that node in place of XYZ.

The description of each clock should go to "clock-names" property.
Please use some of already existing bindings as an example.

> +- clock-name: must be "apb" and "smi".

typo: Should be "clock-names".

I'd recommend describing this property as below:

- clock-names: must contain 2 entries, as follows:
  - "apb" : <here comes the description of APB clock>,
  - "smi" : <here comes the description of SMI clock>.

nit: s/smi/SMI block/

See my comment for those properties in the first binding.
