Seconded.

The removed Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt is referenced by
a lot of files, tree-wide. Should the references be updated in the same
series?

What about #address-cells and #size-cells in port and ports nodes?
These must either be #address-cells = <1>, #size-cells = <0>, or they
can be absent if the parent node already has the same, or if a port node
only contains a single endpoint.
