Thanks for the patch.

Checkpatch should scream here. If it doesn't, maybe you work on some old
tree, which would also explain why you send it to my old address (not
the one from get_maintainers). Please use both checkpatch and
get_maintainers.

You basically relicense bindings from GPL-2.0 only to new license,
including GPL-3.0.

File name should be "fsl,ifc.yaml"

Nodes should be generic, so this looks like "memory-controller".

Skip the description, it's obvious.
