Drop this. It's meaningless and 3 compatibles to match is the kernel is 
not a big deal.

Is the number of pixel processors probe-able? If not, then it needs to 
be implied by the vendor compatible string or a property.

That's a lot of interrupts. Was going to ask about combining, but 
I see Linus raised that.

List this with the compatible strings. I assume one of the arm,mali-??? 
strings applies too.

This should be in the core binding. The number of clocks should not 
vary. We often get this wrong because the IP blocks get integrated and 
connected to the same clock source. But this should be equal to the 
number of clock inputs.
