I think you split this into two binding spec docs, one for each type of uart.

first? is there more than one reg region?

confused, above you say the non-DM doesn't support DMA so, why the optional props?

Is GSBI region existing tied to particular versions (if so can we say that)

reg-names?

nit, ahb in caps?
