Well as of today there's only one and only version of PGU.
So is there a real need for "snps,arcpgu-1.0"?

Do you mean I may drop "encoder-slave" from bindings description?
I actually thought about that because in case of simulation platform where
this device is also used there's no encoder as well as no connector - we're
dealing with memory area which is read by host and then displayed on host's
display.

Correct, let me fix it.

Indeed - copy-paste is evil :)
