Hi Philipp, CK,

Please see my comments inline.

Do all the blocks have only one interrupt signal?

What about clock-names? Also all required clocks for particular
compatible strings should be listed in documentation,

Is this a rebase error? compatible property was already described few
lines above and also missing description.

Perhaps these 3 could also have some short description like the ones
listed above?

Maybe rewrite to: "Should point to respective IOMMU block as defined
in <path to IOMMU binding documentation>"?

Best regards,
