Ok, sounds reasonable.

That actually sounds like a good idea. I will change that.

Indeed, but I also once learned that you don't change the original date 
in a copyright notice as it is used to express when the content has been 
published or created first (and the original version has been online on 
our server publically since 2019).

Right, I remember seeing some discussion about extending the column 
limit. I will need to update my text editor's config.

Hm, probably yes. I thought it would be good to have the upstream DT 
fully describe the modules, including the memory size. But if it is more 
common or useful, I will fill in the memory size for the smallest 
configuration (1GB) only and let U-Boot overwrite the value if it 
detects modules with larger DDR.

I think it's "compatible", "reg" and "pinctrl" first, then the other 
properties in alphabetical order and "status" last. So I'm not really 
sure what to improve here.

Yes, indeed, but when I learned about the possibility to override the 
device's driver from userspace, I already had sent out this patch. I 
will remove the userspi node in the next version.

Thanks so far for reviewing!
