No /chosen/stdout-path?

Does your UART driver support earlycon?

The secondary CPUs need an enable-method. Are you using PSCI or
spin-table? 

Which exception level do the CPUs enter the kernel?

This should be "arm,armv8-timer".

NAK. CNTFRQ should be programmed on all CPUs prior to entering the
kernel, per the boot protocol. You should not need clock-frequency here.

This string isn't documented (but seems to be supported by the GIC
driver).

How does this differ from other GIC implementations?

> +			#interrupt-cells = <3>;
> +			reg = <0x0b000000 0x1000>, <0x0b002000 0x1000>;

No GICH, GICV, maintenance interrupt?

Minor nit, but I'd prefer if the reg entries were on individual lines as
happens in other dts.

Thanks,
Mark.
