Can you split this up into three parts for easier review?

DTs as hardware description should be dual-licensed as either MIT or 
BSD-2-Clause, similar to the schema.

Also, elsewhere, for any code that might get reused for OpenOCD (e.g., 
clk drivers and low-level init like machine - 2/5) or other non-kernel 
projects potentially incompatible with GPL-2.0-only, it would be useful 
to use the -or-later version of the GPL for code sharing - if the 
sources you used permit that.

The memory node needs to become memory@20000000 then.

I take it, this RAM is integrated? Maybe add some explanation of what 
this file is

What do you intend to add here? Is it really needed? (same below)

Pre-DT-Schema I used to add a compatible property in the .dtsi, to make 
sure we have at least the SoC's, in case someone neglects to add one in 
their board's .dts. With DT schema that's no longer valid (if enum/const 
is required), but Linux would still work better with than without.

Ditto, unit address missing.

Don't you anticipate incompatibilities between infinity and infinity3, 
i.e., things you don't want to inherit? Seems a bit optimistic. You can 
of course overwrite properties, but deleting is more difficult.

So this is the only file starting with mstar. Have you thought about 
prefixing infinity/mercury, so that they're grouped together?

Lacking interrupt-affinity.

"This property should be present when there is more than a single SPI."

To deal with single- vs. dual-core models, you should give the pmu node 
a label, e.g., arm_pmu used elsewhere, I think. Depending on your 
preferences you could set it here in common code (less work) or in the 
SoC-specific .dtsi where you know the number of CPUs for sure (safer to 
not forget later).

I had been instructed not to use full identity ranges but to exclude RAM 
ranges for safety reasons.

In addition to Marc's comments, please reorder reg to below compatible 
for consistency. Suggest to also reorder interrupt-controller before the 
-cells properties, after reg.

If you have any decent manuals for these SoCs, I suggest to check 
whether there are any internal buses that you may want to model as 
simple-bus for grouping. In-tree examples include meson and recently 
merged rtd1195 - it affects the reg addresses and unit addresses via 
suitable ranges mappings.
