The naming 88xx refers to the processor family and arn't actually
wildcards. In the future we might need another dts file for 87xx, but
so far all SoCs of 88xx family should use the same dts files. In this
sense the naming is very specific.

The soc is called thunder-88xx, the cpu thunder. E.g. an 87xx soc will
have the same core in which is thunder.

Changed this.

Will do.

Right, this is a leftover from a change in a follow on patch that
introduces a child for its. Will remove #address-cells, #size-cells
and ranges in this patch and move the change to the later patch.

Will do.

Do you mean
			clock-names = "uartclk", "apb_pclk";
here?
