Subject: Re: [PATCH v10 5/5] [powerpc] Fix up fsl-flexcan device tree binding.

Your first sentence could be misleading. Please just describe what the
patch does and why, something like:

"This patch cleans up the documentation of the device-tree binding for
 the Flexcan devices on Freescale's PowerPC and ARM cores. Extra
 properties are not needed as the frequency of the source clock is
 fixed..." and so on.

Do we really want to drop the documentation for that binding. I think
something like the following text would be still useful:

------------------------
Flexcan CAN contoller on Freescale's ARM and PowerPC processors

Required properties:

- compatible : Should be "fsl,flexcan" and optionally
               "fsl,flexcan-<processor>"
- reg : Offset and length of the register set for this device
- interrupts : Interrupt tuple for this device

Example:

  can@...00 {
          compatible = "fsl,p1010-flexcan", "fsl,flexcan";
          reg = <0x1c000 0x1000>;
          interrupts = <48 0x2>;
          interrupt-parent = <&mpic>;
  };
-------------------------

What do you think?

Does fit on one line.

Ditto

Please also correct the node names (not using the number suffix).
