Seems like the comment should be one line earlier?

There is value in basing the names on the datasheet, but you could
append something meaningful on the end:

#define JH7100_SYSMAIN_REGISTER49_DLYCHAIN 0xc8

???

Unfortunately the JH7100 datasheet I have access to doesn't provide any information regarding the SYSCTRL-MAINSYS related registers. Maybe Emil could provide some details here?

You should probably document that if starfive,gtxclk-dlychain is not
found in the DT blob, the value for the delay chain is undefined. It
would actually be better to define it, set it to 0 for example. That
way, you know you don't have any dependency on the bootloader for
example.

Sure, I will set it to 0.
