Yes, except few properties most are the same.

We can have a shared DT bindings for both ARM and RISC-V but
both architectures will always have some architecture specific details
(or properties) which need to be documented under arch specific
DT documentation. Is it okay if this is done as a separate series ?

I had tried "idle-states" node name but DT bindings check complaints
conflict with ARM idle state bindings.

okay, will update.

I will move this up.

Okay, will update.

Ahh, I missed this one. I will add it in next patch revision.
