+* FSL MPIC Message Registers
+
+This binding specifies what properties must be available in the device tree
+representation of the message register groups found in some FSL MPIC
+implementations.
+
+Required properties:
+
+    - compatible: Specifies the compatibility list for the message register
+      block.  The type shall be <string> and the value shall be of the form
+      "fsl,mpic-v<version>-msgr", where <version> is the version number of
+      the MPIC containing the message registers.
+
+    - reg: Specifies the base physical address(s) and size(s) of the
+      message register block's addressable register space.  The type shall be
+      <prop-encoded-array>.
+
+    - interrupts: Specifies a list of interrupt source and level-sense pairs.
+      The type shall be <prop-encoded-array>.  The length shall be equal to
+      the number of bits set in the 'msg-receive-mask' property value.
Oh, just noticed -- mismatch between msg-receive-mask here...
quoted hunk
+
+Optional properties:
+
+    - mpic-msgr-receive-mask: Specifies what registers in the containing block
+      are allowed to receive interrupts.  The value is a bit mask where a set
+      bit at bit 'n' indicates that message register 'n' can receive interrupts.
+      The type shall be <prop-encoded-array>.  If not present, then all of
+      the message registers in the block are available.
...and mpic-msgr-receive-mask here.

Might want to just say "equal to the number of registers that are
available for receiving interrupts", to more clearly apply to the case where
mpic-msgr-receive-mask is missing.
