Again, I'd suggest wording this as:

- compatible
     Array of strings.
     One of:
   - "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp"

I'd rather not split the filenames across lines, since that makes grep 
fail to match. Perhaps add the following text to the introductory 
section at the start of the file to avoid having to mention some of the 
filenames in an indented block of text:

==========
This node is a mailbox consumer. See the following file for details of 
the mailbox subsystem, and the specifiers implemented by the relevant 
provider(s):

- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/mailbox.txt
- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mailbox/nvidia,tegra186-hsp.txt

This node is a clock and reset provider. See the following files for 
general documentation of those features, and the specifiers implemented 
by this node:

- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt
- include/dt-bindings/clock/tegra186-clock.h
- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reset/reset.txt
- include/dt-bindings/reset/tegra186-reset.h
==========

Related, I would expect those two header files (tegra186-clock.h and 
tegra186-reset.h) to be part of this patch, since they form part of the 
definition of this binding.

s/a sram/an SRAM/.

There should be no unit address ("@d0000000") in the node name, since 
there's no reg property.
