Does not look like you tested the bindings. Please run `make
dt_binding_check` (see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-schema.rst for instructions).

Isn't this SoC-specific device? Generic compatibles are usually not
expected.

You did not model here any dependency on SCM. This is not full
description of the firmware/hardware.
