I'm also not sure what the DT people will say about the node name mcu.
I don't see any examples of that in the binding documentation. They
might request you rename it to gpio-controller, unless it does more
than GPIO? And if it does do more than GPIO we are then into mfd
territory, and the binding then becomes much more interesting. Then we
start the questions, are you defining a ABI now, before there is even
a driver for it?

       Andrew
Yes, there is already driver. See my previous email, I mentioned it and
also I wrote link for this driver. Moreover now driver is merged in
upstream u-boot.
I'm not comfortable accepting a DT binding for a driver which does not
exist in Linux. As i said, there are interesting ABI issues here, and
it could be the MFD, GPIO or reset Maintainers don't accept a binding
until a Linux driver exists.

At minimum, you need an Acked-by from the GPIO Maintainer, of the
binding before this DT change is merged via MVEBU.
