Re: [PATCH v1 4/9] dt-bindings: mmc: add binding for BST DWCMSHC SDHCI controller

Add device tree binding documentation for the Black Sesame Technologies
(BST) DWCMSHC SDHCI controller.

This binding describes the required and optional properties for the
bst,dwcmshc-sdhci compatible controller, including register layout,
interrupts, bus width, clock configuration, and other controller-specific
features.

Completely redundant paragraph, drop.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "bindings for". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.

redundant paragraph, drop.

Missing ref to proper schema. Look how other bindings do it.

+
+properties:
+  compatible:
+    const: bst,dwcmshc-sdhci

You have to use soc specific compatibles. Just look at other bindings.

+
+  reg-names:
+    const: base
+    description: Specify the register name

Drop reg-names, useless.

+
+  reg:
+    maxItems: 1
+    description: Host controller base address

Drop description, redundant.

+
+  interrupts:
+    maxItems: 1
+    description: One MMC interrupt should be described here

Drop description, redundant.

+
+  interrupt-names:
+    items:
+      - const: IRQDWMMC0

Drop interrupt-names

+
+  non-removable:
+    type: boolean
+    description: Non-removable slot (like eMMC)
+
+  bus-width:
+    description: Number of data lines
+    enum: [1, 4, 8]
+
+  clock-frequency:
+    description: Base clock frequency in Hz
+
+  max-frequency:
+    description: Maximum clock frequency in Hz
+
+  fifo-depth:
+    description: |
+      FIFO depth in bytes. If this property is not specified, the default value
+      of the fifo size is determined from the controller registers.

All of above are redundant, drop.

+  mmc_crm_base:
+    description: Base address of MMC CRM registers
+    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
+
+  mmc_crm_size:
+    description: Size of MMC CRM registers
+    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32

No clue what are these but they look completely wrong. Why would you
define address size as different property than reg?

+
+  memory-region:
+    maxItems: 1
+    description: Specify the MMC DMA buffer range
+
+  sdhci,auto-cmd12:
+    type: boolean
+    description: Enable auto CMD12 support

Drop, your compatible defines it, there is no vendor sdhci and this is I
think legacy

+
+  dma-coherent:
+    type: boolean
+    description: Enable coherent DMA operations

Drop description, redundant.

This cannot be true. Do you see any device binding like that? No. This
means you are doing something completely different. Please do not
reinvent this but take latest reviewed binding and customize it.

You have patch warnings.
