Looks good to me overall. Two small comments:

What is the problem with the interrupt numbers? Is that information
missing completely from the data available to the brcm bus, or is it
in an inconvenient format?

The @0 part seems wrong here: the address should generally match
the first entry in the reg property, which would be gmac at 18024000.

Also, you probably mean ethernet@ not gmac at .

We may require additional properties for the pcie node, depending on whether
we want to use the DT probing interfaces for it, or whether it should just
hardcode the settings used on brcm based on the ID.
