If you've got property related stuff in the allOf, move it down after
the property definitions.

I don't like these uber generic compatibles that have no users as a
fallback. Allowing them in the binding only really discourages people
from creating device specific compatibles.
Secondly, this is some purchased IP that I am sure has a versioning
scheme and the compatibles that you have created do not reflect that.
If they were being used as a fallback, I would request some versioning.
That's not going to really work though since the canfd features on the
jh7110 require setting u0_can_ctrl_can_fd_enable, so neither of these
compatibles really has a use right now.

Just "starfive,can"? Can you please add device specific compatibles for
the SoCs on which this is used?

Drop _clk, they're all clocks!

Same here, drop rst_

The docs I have call this register "SYS_SYSCONSAIF__SYSCFG". Did the
names change since the TRM I have was written?
