Is that meant to imply that reg should contain a single value that
covers both the common aux registers and the SPI device, or two separate
values, one for the aux common registers and another for the SPI device?
Neither of those options sound correct. I would expect only a single
entry which covered solely the SPI registers. The common aux registers
are owned by the other brcm,bcm2835-aux binding.

That seems to match what I'd expect, but doesn't correspond to the
description above.

It's not a "syscon"...

That's generally true of any HW block, and has nothing to do with the
binding for the device. I would suggest removing that chunk of text.
