Apologies.

device_type should already be there and I should not be in charge of
adding it; reg is not required for that processor.

There is no cpus node in there. I can't add cpus node in all dts files
in the kernel where it is missing (why have those dts files been
accepted in the first place, with no cpus node ? why ? cpus node is mandatory
since device tree was introduced, I really do not understand why those dts
landed in the kernel as they are), I would kindly ask maintainers to do
that, I just can not know what cpus are there for every given SoC.

Good, thanks.
