Could we refer to the documentation for SCPI similarly to what we do

How many, in which order, and what are they used for?

When you say "shared memory", what exactly are we referring to? It looks
like we refer to SRAM areas?

+Clock bindings for the clocks based on SCPI Message Protocol
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This binding uses the common clock binding[1].
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : shall be one of the following:

Nit: s/be/include/

+	"arm,scpi-clocks" - for the container node with all the clocks
+		based on the SCPI protocol

Please separate this from the description of its sub-nodes (e.g. have a
sub-nodes heading under "arm,scpi-clocks").

Is there any reason to have this container if we're only going to place
the two clock controllers described below within it? Can't we just place
them directly under the SCPI node?

+	"arm,scpi-dvfs" - all the clocks that are variable and index based.
+		These clocks don't provide the full range between the limits
+		but only discrete points within the range. The firmware
+		provides the mapping for each such operating frequency and the
+		index associated with it. The firmware also manages the
+		voltage scaling appropriately with the clock scaling.

Could this be "arm,scpi-dvfs-clocks"?

+	"arm,scpi-clk" - all the clocks that are variable and provide full
+		range within the specified range. The firmware provides the
+		supported range for each clock.

Likewise "arm,scpi-variable-clocks"?

Using "arm,scpi-clk" makes it sound like there's a single clock output.

+
+Required properties for all clocks(all from common clock binding):
+- #clock-cells : should be set to 1 as each of the SCPI clocks have multiple
+	outputs. The clock specifier will be the index to an entry in the list
+	of output clocks.
+- clock-output-names : shall be the corresponding names of the outputs.
+- clock-indices: The identifyng number for the clocks(clock_id) in the node as
+	expected by the firmware. It can be non linear and hence provide the
+	mapping	of identifiers into the clock-output-names array.

This isn't documented anywhere, and I can't see any code in this series
using it. The Juno dts doesn't seem to have CPU clocks, and nothing in
this series adds them -- have I missed a series?

Also, I'm not keen on using software-defined names (e.g. "big") for CPU
clocks, as it doesn't stictly relate to the hardware. That said, the set
of clocks, their names, and how they related to CPUs is
implementation-specific, which is somewhat painful. I'm not sure how
we cater for that with generic software.

Thanks,
Mark.
