OTP regions where? In DTS? On flash itself?

Don't repeat constraints in free form text. Add proper minimum and
default, although it is confusing - property is not required but it is
mandatory for OTP?

Don't repeat the same.

What if each region has different length? Is it possible?

Drop unneeded space in front.

Same comments as before.

so default: 0?

I am not sure, but all this looks like duplicated description of nvmem
cells or some sort of partitions.

Considering that this is first time the binding mentions OTP, I really
do not get what you are doing it. If the properties are to stay, please
describe better the problem (and hardware!) in commit msg.

Best regards,
