Hi Bhupesh,

This looks generally good, I just have a few questions and minor change
suggestions below.

The GIC node doesn't have any sub-nodes, so I think the #address-cells,
#size-cells, and ranges properties can go for now.

In this SoC, are there low-power states the CPUs can be placed into
where the architected timers can lose state?

If so, do you any auxiliary timers that aren't cpu-local?

Just to check: do the two UARTs share the same IRQ, or is that a
copy-paste error?

Nit: the '}' is indented a tab too far.

Does that mean:

 - This is "DRAM space 1", populated with 2GB?

Or:

 - The DRAM space can be populated with 1 to 2 GB?

If the former, s/ - /: / for clarity.

If the latter, it might make sense to move that into board-specific dts
files. If this can be dynamically populated ideally the firmware/loader
would fix this up (assuming it can probe the memory).

Also, can we move the memory node up to just after /cpus? That would
match the other dts files we have.

Cheers,
Mark.
