It might make sense to comment that even if described in the DT, a higher exception level may disallow access (discoverable via PMBIDR_EL1). Either way: Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> As a nit, this should've come before the driver, as per Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.txt, but thanks for splitting as its own patch.

This patch documents the devicetree binding in use for ARM SPE.
