Okay..

Firstly, why the nodename enforcement? We have a compatible, so we
should be okay, no?

You've only got one thing here, you don't need the oneOf.
Also, s/reset-th1520/th1520-reset/ please - although I do not know if
"reset" is the right word here. Do we know what the IP block is called
in the TRM/T-Head docs? Perhaps Guo Ren does if not.

All of these values set on a per-soc basis, right?
If so, I don't think they should be in here at all since you should be
able to figure out the offsets from the base & the values to write based
on the compatible string alone, no?

Putting register values into the DT is always "suspect"!

               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is also "suspect" and implies that "entry reg" should just be a
normal "reg" property.
