I'll start off with the fact that I hardly consider myself a DT expert,
so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Similarly, "xilinx,ml403-fb" will be required for ML403 correct?  Or do
they share exact identical implementations?

"number" seems a bit to generic to me.  logical-number seems a bit more
descriptive.

I think you mean "xilinx,opb-emac" on that last one.
