On the MALI-400 MP in the ST-Ericsson DB8500 we have an additional interrupt
called "Mali400 combined". This is simply the HW designer's
doing an OR over all the 4 IRQ lines. Is this useful to define in the
bindings? Then it should be an optional

 * combined: all lines OR:ed together (if available)

Also you are defining "resets" below in the examples, should
this be listed as an optional property?

Please add:

- stericsson,db8500-mali: also known as the "Smart Graphics
Accelerator" (SGA500)
   Required properties:
    * clocks: an entry for each entry in clock-names
    * clock-names:
      + bus: bus clock for the GPU (ICNCLK a.k.a. PRCMU_ACLK)
      + core: clock driving the GPU itself (PRCMU_SGACLK)

(It has no explicit reset line.)
