Please use subject prefixes matching the subsystem. You can get them for
example with `git log --oneline -- DIRECTORY_OR_FILE` on the directory
your patch is touching. For bindings, the preferred subjects are
explained here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.html#i-for-patch-submitters

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "binding document for". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.

Do not need '|' unless you need to preserve formatting.

Is "bus" really name of this in datasheet?

Useless names, so just drop interrupt-names property.

Drop pwrc

Drop pwrc

Missing iommus. I really doubt hardware works without IOMMU.
