Hi Krzysztof,

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, here are the devices dt-binding that we use on the internal FPGA
SoC platform. Thanks.

uart:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/sifive-serial.yaml

gpio:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/sifive,gpio.yaml

dma:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/dma/sifive,fu540-c000-pdma.yaml

spi:
