"IIUC" note is highly undesirable ;)

Can you drop the example above? It does not bring any new information.

Commonly for device node names generic/device class names are utilized,
however I can not suggest what name is better.

For #*-cells properties plese specify plain integers, #interrupt-cells = <1>;

Please use a plain integer.

Please use a plain integer.

Here I'd rather suggest

1) use 32-bit values,
2) rename properties by replacing underscore by a hyphen.

Please use a plain integer.

Please drop an empty line above.
