Subject: Re: [PATCH] dt-bindings : misc : aspeed,cvic interrupt controller :
 convert the binding document to yaml

Subject: incorrect format. Use style consistent with subsystem (git log).

Weird commit msg indentation, wrong wrapping.

typo - compatibility

It is interrupt controller, so move it to interrupt-controller directory.

These should be people having/knowing/responsible for hardware. I doubt
Rob has any interest in Aspeed...

Drop "This file describes the bindings for the" but instead rephrase it

That's not DT coding style. Open DTS and look how this is coded in ARM.

Node name: interrupt-controller
Drop label.

reg is second property
