The patch documening the DT bindings should be ordered before the patch which adds
the DT node to aid reviewing.

+STMicroelectronics Remote Processor
+-----------------------------------
+
+This binding provides support for adjunct processors found on ST SoCs.
+
+The remote processors can be controlled from the bootloader or the primary OS.
+If the bootloader starts a remote processor processor the primary OS must detect
+its state and act accordingly.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible		Should be one of:
+				"st,st231-rproc"
+				"st,st40-rproc"
st40-proc isn't used anywhere. The stih407 doesn't have a ST40 copro, and
looking in the vendor tree remoteproc support isn't present for stih415/6 which
are the the only upstream SoC's to have a ST40 co-pro.

So I think st40-rproc support can be removed.
quoted
+- reg			Size and length of reserved co-processor memory
+- resets		Reset lines (See: ../reset/reset.txt)
+- reset-names		Must be "sw_reset" and "pwr_reset"
pwr_reset isn't used by any of the st231 co-processors. It seems to
be related to ST40 support which I don't think is required upstream.
Removing it would make the driver a fair bit smaller.
quoted
+- clocks		Clock for co-processor (See: ../clock/clock-bindings.txt)
+- clock-names		Must be "rproc_clk"
I can't see any co-pro which uses more than one clock, so clock-names looks
superflous.
quoted
+- clock-frequency	Clock frequency to set co-processor at if the bootloader
+			hasn't already done so
+- st,syscfg-boot	The register that holds the boot vector for the co-processor
I would prefer to see this binding match how most other sti drivers reference syscfg
registers which is: -

st,syscfg       = <&syscfg_core 0xf4>;

Description: phandle of sysconfig bank plus integer array containing register offsets.

It also means it is easily extendable if more than one syscfg register is
required in the future to boot a co-pro.
Ack.  Good points, will fix.
