Presumably the HD systems will have a different compatible? Is it only
the panel that's different or are there other changes?

It's not clear to me what exactly this implies. Does it mean the system
won't boot unless you manually press "refresh" and "power"? Are those
keyboard buttons or keys on some debug board?

Perhaps this should at least mention that it's the Acer Chromebook 13.
Otherwise this could just as well be some random development board.

What's "nyan"? Are there other variants of "big" other than "nyan"?

Stephen proposed a patch not so long ago that removes the static pinmux
settings from DTS files[0]. I'd expect he'll have objections to this DTS
providing the static settings.

The assumption with that patch is that the bootloader will have to set
up the entire pinmux anyway (to prevent conflicting settings), therefore
there'd be no need to do it in the kernel. Is this something that your
bootloader already does (or could be modified to do)?

We've started to annotate some of these nodes in other DTS files to make
it easier for people to match them to connectors on the board (or the
schematics). This isn't necessarily important for things like PWM, since
their use is fairly obvious and usually in-kernel only (with perhaps an
exception of a PWM routed to some expansion header on some development
board). For generic interfaces it's good to know what they map to on the
device.

Is this serial available as an accessible connector? Or is it some debug
serial that's only available on a (non-equipped) header on the board?

I presume this is the TPM that you said isn't reset on reboot? Do you
know the reason for why it isn't being reset? What's needed to reset
this module? I assume it's something that can (and will eventually) be
fixed?

Given this, I wonder how useful the 80-chars limit is for DTS files...

The sbs-battery binding doesn't define a power-supplies property.

I think it's customary to separate the properties and child nodes using
a blank line.

Also, and I know other DTS files contain the same, I think spi-flash is
kind of redundant, since it's a child of an SPI node.

Isn't the maximum frequency inherited from the parent?

For these it might be good to know which is the external one (I assume
there is one). I'm guessing sdhc at 0,700b0000 is eMMC because it is marked
non-removable, but a comment would be good to make it explicit.

Similarly for these.

I'm curious, does ChromeOS really need 257 levels of brightness? I don't
think I've seen a consumer product that supports more than a dozen
levels.

There was a discussion a few days ago about this, and "simple-panel"
really isn't useful in the list of compatible strings. I already have a
patch queued up that removes that entry from all existing device trees
and also gets rid of the OF match table entry in the panel-simple
driver.
