Where do DSP CPU cluster nodes go? THat should be desscribed before the
example.

s/should be/should contain/ -- you might have a backwards compatible
version in future. Similarly elsewhere.

When should "fsl,dsp-cluster" be used, and when should
"fsl,sc3900-cluster" be used? That should be described.

When should each of these compatible strings be used?

Does nothing else need to be described (e.g. mailbox or communication
mechanism, interrupts, regulators, clocks) to use these DSPs?

I assume the name of the dsp-clusters node is important (and that it
needs to be under / rathert than a subnode)? That should be documented.

This has a reg. Shouldn't it be called dsp-cluster@0 ?

Similarly, dsp-cluster@1 ?
