Hi Vivek,

Thanks for the patch. Please see my comments inline.

Hmm, I remember that for <soc> and similar wildcards we required
explicitly listing allowed values. Rob, has it changed since I
stumbled upon such thing last time (or I just got it wrong before)?

nit: Could we have it in a bit more structured way? E.g.

- clock-names: List of names of clocks input to the device. The
required list depends on particular implementation and is as follows:
 - for "qcom,smmu-v2":
   - "bus": clock required for downstream bus access and for the smmu ptw,
   - "iface":  clock required to access smmu's registers through the
TCU's programming interface.
 - unspecified for other implementations.

(+/- wrapping)

Phandle is just a pointer to another node. Clocks are however
specified using a phandle and a number of arguments, depending on the
clock controller. I'd change it to:

- clocks:         Specifiers for all clocks listed in the clock-names
property, as per generic clock bindings.

>From DT point of view, the relationship of SMMU belonging to a master
device doesn't exist. The power-domains property needs to be properly
specified for all devices within power domains represented in DT, with
an exception of the case when the parent-child relationship is
explicitly stated in DT by child devices being represented by child
nodes of the parent device node.

- power-domains: Specifiers for power domains required to be powered
on for the SMMU to operate, as per generic power domain bindings.
