How about the following modify? If okay for you I will fix in next version.

Required properites:
   - reg : Offset and length of the register set of RCPM block.
+  - fsl,rcpm-wakeup-cell-num : The number of cell in rcpm-wakeup property.

        rcpm: global-utilities at e2000 {
                compatible = "fsl,t4240-rcpm", "fsl,qoriq-rcpm-2.0";
                reg = <0xe2000 0x1000>;
+               fsl,rcpm-wakeup-cell-num = <2>;
        };

Regards,
-Dongsheng
