Please, carefully look at:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/gpmc-eth.txt
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/bus/ti-gpmc.txt

1. Try to re-use existing bindings. Although I see existing bank-width
and gpmc,device-width but yours samsung,srom-data-width seems better.
Maybe there are other to re-use?

2. The array of "PMC, Tacp, Tcah, Tcoh, Tacc, Tcos, Tacs" is poorly
extendable and not very descriptive/readable. You mapped directly device
register which is the easier way for the driver but that is not the
purpose of binding.

3. Please provide ranges for valid values and units.

4. PMC is not a timing.

I doubt that TI GPMC could be used in Exynos SROM but please look at it
and get useful stuff from it.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
