IIUC the IP as such doesn't have this restriction, it's just the way
currently integrated in the SoCs. So we need to provide a way for future
expansion.

I would rather drop any specifics about what driver does. Bindings 
should try to confine to the underlying hardware only if possible.

Need to explain what that one cell must represent.

How do we handle if the middle link has no interrupt ?
Also please that the last channel is secure only and must not be used in 
non-secure execution.

May be a brief one/2-liners on what IP does might be useful ?

Replace "3" with some macro throughout the file.

[Nit] How about just
	return readl_relaxed(mlink->tx_reg + INTR_STAT_OFS) == 0;

Why do you need the above check when the core handles that already ?

This proved costly(in terms of time) on Juno board in my testing,
requesting and setting up irq for every small packets you need to send.
I would prefer it to be moved to probe.

This will either explode or warn as you have already requested the
regions. Have you run this code after converting to amba bus device ?

Again a macro for 0x100 ?

10ms seems to high, but if that's a derived value then I am fine.
On Juno, typically we get response within a millisecond, so we need not
get blocked on Tx even after getting Rx for 10ms. I prefer it to be set
to 1 ms.

This is the problem. This IP has PID(0x98 0xB0 0x1B 0x00 0x04)
it's 5 bytes[1] . Even I had thought of AMBA initially, it doesn't fit
as is, may need changes to the amba core to consider this.
