Please clean up whitespace so the text aligns.
[Leekha Shaveta-B20052] ok. Will remove whitespaces.

Is it proper for Linux to even set the LIODN on a device that is "disabled"?  Perhaps the compatible should be different, such as "fsl,maple-b3-liodn" to indicate that that is the only portion of the device that is owned by this partition.

This error interrupt is documented as 13, not 18.  b4860 (and maybe other b4?) have an erratum that says that error interrupts are reversed, but this is generally implemented in b4si-post.dtsi, not in block-specific include files.  Will no chip without the erratum ever have maple?
[Leekha Shaveta-B20052] You are right here. Will add the interrupts in b4si or b4860si file, as other chips may have maple.
