Hi Jacopo,

Thank you for the patch.

"ones" sound a bit weird. How about "... found in the Renesas SH Mobil and RZ
SoCs." ?

What do you mean by "up to 8/16 bits" ?

This is unclear, as Geert pointed out renesas,ceu sounds like a fallback. I
think this could be clarified if you explained how you plan to support other
SoCs (in particular the SH Mobile series, when/if it will receive DT support).

The standard practice, if I'm not mistaken, is to document properties with the
description starting on the same line as the property name.

- reg: Physical address base and size.

And nitpicking again, I'd write "register" instead of "physical" to clarify
what the properties contains (even if its name should make it clear).

pinctrl-names isn't a phandle. If you want to document those properties (not
all DT bindings do, I'm not sure what is best) you should document them both,
possibly on two separate lines. There are plenty of examples in the upstream
DT bindings.

As Geert pointed out this isn't a top-level property. I wouldn't document it
as such, but instead reference Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-
interfaces.txt (see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/renesas,du.txt
or Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/renesas,drif.txt for examples).

Maybe s/sitting on/connected to/ ?
