+Broadcom STB platforms Device Tree Bindings
+-------------------------------------------
+Boards with Broadcom Brahma15 ARM-based BCM7xxx SoC shall have the following
+properties.
+
+Required root node properties:
+
+    - compatible = "brcm,brcmstb-<chip_id>";
I'd prefer it if variants were listed explicitly (as it makes it far
easier to grep for). Something like:

- compatible: should contain one of:
  * "brcm,brcmsrb-7445"
  * "brcm,brcmsrb-7446"
+
+Further, a node with the following compatible string shall be defined:
+
+    - compatible: "brcm,brcmstb-gen-ctrl-v1"
It's probably better to say a brcmstb-gen-ctrl node (described below)
should be present, or you'll have two places to update the compatible
strings for each new variant...
+
+brcmstb-gen-ctrl
+----------------
+This node describes the registers needed for reset and CPU power control.
+
+    - compatible: "brcm,brcmstb-gen-ctrl-v1"
+    - properties:
This looks odd, compatible is itself a property.
+        o reg = <rst-src-en-reg-base len
+                 sw-mstr-rst-reg-base len
+                 cpu-rst-cfg-reg-base len
+                 cpu-pwr-zone-ctrl-reg-base len
+                 stb-boot-hi-addr0-reg len>;
This would be nicer as something like follows, but with less
abberviation (unless these names are from a datasheet for the hardware).

- reg: a list of base-address size pairs:
  * The first entry should cover the sw-mstr-rst registers
  * The second entry should cover the cpu-rst-cfg registers
  * The third entry should cover the cpu-pwr-zone registers
  * The fourth entry should cover the stb-boot-hi-addr0 registers

It may make sense to use reg-names, future revisions might change
things.
+
+example:
+/ {
+    model = "Broadcom STB";
+    compatible =  "brcm,brcmstb-7445";
+
+    /* snip */
+
+    gen-ctrl {
+        compatible = "brcm,brcmstb-gen-ctrl-v1";
+        reg = <0xf0404304 0x4
+               0xf0404308 0x4
+               0xf03e2578 0x4
+               0xf03e2488 0x10
+               0xf0452000 0x20>;
Nit: please bracket each entry individually:

reg = <0xf0404304 0x4>,
      <0xf0404308 0x4>,
      <0xf03e2578 0x4>,
      <0xf03e2488 0x10>,
      <0xf0452000 0x20>;

Also, these look to be single registers in a larger register bank. Is
there any reason you can't describe the bank(s) they are in? That'll
give you more flexibility in the driver...

Thanks,
Mark
