I'd prefer it if variants were listed explicitly (as it makes it far
easier to grep for). Something like:

- compatible: should contain one of:
* "brcm,brcmsrb-7445"
* "brcm,brcmsrb-7446"

It's probably better to say a brcmstb-gen-ctrl node (described below)
should be present, or you'll have two places to update the compatible
strings for each new variant...

This looks odd, compatible is itself a property.

This would be nicer as something like follows, but with less
abberviation (unless these names are from a datasheet for the hardware).

- reg: a list of base-address size pairs:
* The first entry should cover the sw-mstr-rst registers
* The second entry should cover the cpu-rst-cfg registers
* The third entry should cover the cpu-pwr-zone registers
* The fourth entry should cover the stb-boot-hi-addr0 registers

It may make sense to use reg-names, future revisions might change
things.

Nit: please bracket each entry individually:

reg = <0xf0404304 0x4>,
<0xf0404308 0x4>,
<0xf03e2578 0x4>,
<0xf03e2488 0x10>,
<0xf0452000 0x20>;

Also, these look to be single registers in a larger register bank. Is
there any reason you can't describe the bank(s) they are in? That'll
give you more flexibility in the driver...

Thanks,
Mark
