Actually you seemed to be lacking bindings beyond the cache controller
for Uniphier:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/uniphier

The SoC compatible, e.g. "socionext,uniphier-ld11", needs to be defined
somewhere too, as done here. A git-grep for that particular compatible
only finds derived clk and reset bindings.

Using socionext.txt allows you to add those bindings to a shared file;
if you prefer to host them separately below uniphier/ or as uniphier.txt
do you have a better name suggestion for this one? I was trying to keep
our options open to later add SC2A11 in socionext.txt, and I also saw
some mb8ac300 or so (MB86S7x predecessor?) in downstream sources, so I
don't know a good common name for the non-Panasonic parts. And if we
take fujitsu.txt for MB86S7x to match the vendor prefix then we will
need a separate file for the new SC2A11 IIUC.

Also if you can tell us where the cut between Fujitsu and Socionext
should be done, we can certainly adapt. NXP is still adding all their
new SoCs in fsl.txt, it seems.
(A similar naming issue exists for my not-yet-submitted FM4 patches,
where it changed owners from Fujitsu to Spansion and then to Cypress.)

Best regards,
Andreas
