+AD4- +AD4- +-ARC PGU
+AD4- +AD4- +-
+AD4- +AD4- +-This is a display controller found on several development boards produced
+AD4- +AD4- +-by Synopsys. The ARC PGU is an RGB streamer that reads the data from a
+AD4- +AD4- +-framebuffer and sends it to a single digital encoder (usually HDMI).
+AD4- +AD4- +-
+AD4- +AD4- +-Required properties:
+AD4- +AD4- +-+AKAAoA-- compatible: +ACI-snps,arcpgu+ACI-
+AD4- +AD4- +-+AKAAoA-- reg: Physical base address and length of the controller's registers.
+AD4- +AD4- +-+AKAAoA-- clocks: A list of phandle +- clock-specifier pairs, one for each
+AD4- +AD4- +-+AKAAoACgAKA-entry in 'clock-names'.
+AD4- +AD4- +-+AKAAoA-- clock-names: A list of clock names. For ARC PGU it should contain:
+AD4- +AD4- +-+AKAAoACgAKAAoACg-- +ACI-pxlclk+ACI- for the clock feeding the output PLL of the controller.
+AD4- +AD4- +-
+AD4- +AD4- +-Required sub-nodes:
+AD4- +AD4- +-+AKAAoA-- port: The PGU connection to an encoder chip. The connection is modelled
+AD4- +AD4- +-+AKAAoACgAKA-using the OF graph bindings specified in
+AD4- +AD4- +-+AKAAoACgAKA-Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt.

+AD4- Where's the port? Didn't you previously say it was optional?

Well I wanted to get rid of anything except bare minimal that is required for
that driver.

What I did miss in that clean-up is description above.
In particular +ACI-Required subnodes+ACI- section that still lists +ACI-port+ACI-.

And frankly now I'm a bit lost with what should I put in that binding
description and what should not. Any comments here are much appreciated.
