Even when it is a work in progress still, it would be a good
idea to start documenting the device binding.

Sure, that's not the point.

Since you are using generic names, the only use for the "name"
of a node is for a human reader to understand your tree.  Maybe
everyone using this specific SoC knows what a BCSR is; or maybe
there is a more friendly name you could use.
