Perhaps this should explain *why* we need new bindings.

 ... in order to preserve backward compatibility with Device Trees
 using the old binding.

The function should be prefixed by mvebu_icu_, not just mvebu_.

I find this comment weird, because it doesn't document what the test
just below is doing.

In practice here fwspec->param[0] is always going to be equal to
ICU_GRP_NSR, but OK, the test makes sense as in a future commit, the
"else" case will be changed to support SEIs.

I'm not sure why you call this icu_nsr here, and change it later to
icu_subset. Wouldn't it make sense to call it right away with the final
name ? Note that this is not a very strong request to change this
aspect, I'm fine with how it's done today, it's just that I would have
done it differently.

Other than that, looks good to me.
