Previously, Rob had suggest to:
1) Mandate two compatible strings: one for implementation and
and second for specification
2) Since this is new specification with QEMU being the only
implementation, we add "vendor,chip-imsics" as dummy
implementation specific string for DT schema checkers
to pass the examples. Once we have an actual implementation,
we will replace this dummy string.
Refer, https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg442720.html

Not at the moment since this is a new specification.
The value "128" is because maximum number of
IMSIC groups on an system with both IMSIC and
APLIC is 128 where each IMSIC group has a
separate base address. This is not a hard limit so
I am willing to drop it as well.

Okay, I will include msi-controller.yaml in the next revision.

The interrupts-extended property describes the association of IMSIC
interrupt files with the HARTs. If there are N HARTs then we will have
N entries in the interrupts-extended (just like the existing PLIC DT bindings).
For example, if the first entry points to HART1 and the second entry points
to HART0 then the first interrupt file is associated with HART1 and the
second interrupt file is associated with HART0.
Currently, the "maxItems" limit reflects the max IMSICs which an APLIC
domain can target on a system with both IMSIC and APLIC.
Actually, there is a typo here. The "maxItems" should be 16384 as-per
the frozen AIA specification. I will update "maxItems" accordingly in
next patch revision.

This is a property of hardware (or implementation) because IPIs
in IMSIC are software injected MSIs so if IMSIC is trap-n-emulated
by a hypervisor then all writes to MSI register will trap to hypervisor
in which case IPI injection via IMSIC is slow.
The presence of "riscv,slow-ipi" DT property provides a hint to
driver that using IPIs through IMSIC is slow on this platform so
if there are other IPI mechanisms (such as SBI IPI calls) then
OS should prefer those mechanisms.

Okay, I will update.

Okay, I will update.

I did not see any warnings with ./scripts/checkpatch.pl.
Is there any parameter of checkpatch.pl which I should try ?
