Please don't use wildcards in compatible strings. Give this an absolute
name, and override as necessary.

The naming 88xx refers to the processor family and arn't actually
wildcards. In the future we might need another dts file for 87xx, but
so far all SoCs of 88xx family should use the same dts files. In this
sense the naming is very specific.

Just to check: both the SoC and CPU are called thunder?

The soc is called thunder-88xx, the cpu thunder. E.g. an 87xx soc will
have the same core in which is thunder.

To make this easier to read, please place a comma between 32-bit
portions of the unit address (e.g. here have 8010,00000000).

Changed this.

Mark, perhaps a dtc or checkpatch.pl check for this?

This should also be under a bus node.

Will do.

This has no children, so why have ranges, #address-cells, and
#size-cells?

Right, this is a leftover from a change in a follow on patch that
introduces a child for its. Will remove #address-cells, #size-cells
and ranges in this patch and move the change to the later patch.

Please get rid of the clocks node and just put the clocks here.

Will do.

Is this actually the apb_pclk, or is the the uartclk? I assume it's the
latter.

Shouldn't new bindings have both clocks here? A single clock was a
mistake I think (mine in fact).

Do you mean
			clock-names = "uartclk", "apb_pclk";
here?

Thanks,
