A general comment: when you are updating the device tree bindings.
You should cc the devicetree at vger.kernel.org mailing list.

Some Freescale boards like LS2080AQDS/LS2080ARDB have an on-board
FPGA/CPLD connected to the IFC controller. The bindings specified
in this patch cater to those on-board FPGA/CPLD controllers.
We already have the binding defined in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/powerpc/fsl/board.txt.  We probably
should just move it to a more generic location.
Consolidation of powerpc and ARM bindings is something that needs to
be targeted by a separate patch-series, perhaps in future.

There are a number of duplications that can be looked into, but I
don't think this patchset should depend on that.
There might be some duplication, but we shouldn't be adding more.  :) I
would rather you directly updating that file than creating a new file
even though the original one was in a wrong directory.
IMO a PowerPC binding update makes no sense in a ARM machine patchset sent
on a arm specific mailing list.

I would like to wait to hear what maintainers have to say on the same.
