"Documentation: Documentation ..."? That wastes a lot of the subject
line... The preferred prefix is "dt-bindings: ..."

+== Introduction==
+
+LLCC (Last Level Cache Controller) provides last level of cache memory in SOC, +that can be shared by multiple clients. Clients here are different cores in the +SOC, the idea is to minimize the local caches at the clients and migrate to
+common pool of memory
+
+Properties:
+- compatible:
+	 Usage: required
+	 Value type: <string>
+	 Definition: must be "qcom,sdm845-llcc"
+
+- reg:
+	 Usage: required
+	 Value Type: <prop-encoded-array>
+	 Definition: must be addresses and sizes of the LLCC registers

How many address ranges?

It consists of just one address range. I'll edit the definition to make
it more clear.
+
+- #cache-cells:

This is all written as it is a common binding, but it is not one.

You already have most of the configuration data for each client in the
driver, I think I'd just put the client connection there too. Is there
any variation of this for a given SoC?

#cache-cells and max-slices won't change for a given SOC. So you want me
to hard-code in the driver itself?

+	 Usage: required
+	 Value Type: <u32>
+	 Definition: Number of cache cells, must be 1
+
+- max-slices:
+	 usage: required
+	 Value Type: <u32>
+	 Definition: Number of cache slices supported by hardware

What's a slice?

System cache memory provided by LLCC is divided into smaller chunks
called slices. Each slice has its associated size and ID. Clients can
query slice details, activate and deactivate them.
+
+Example:
+
+	llcc: qcom,llcc@1100000 {
+		compatible = "qcom,sdm845-llcc";
+		reg = <0x1100000 0x250000>;
+		#cache-cells = <1>;
+		max-slices = <32>;
+	};
+
+== Client ==
+
+Properties:
+- cache-slice-names:
+	 Usage: required
+	 Value type: <stringlist>
+	 Definition: A set of names that identify the usecase names of a
+			client that uses cache slice. These strings are
+			used to look up the cache slice entries by name.
+
+- cache-slices:
+	 Usage: required
+	 Value type: <prop-encoded-array>
+	 Definition: The tuple has phandle to llcc device as the first
+			argument and the second argument is the usecase
+			id of the client.
+For Example:
+	venus {
+		cache-slice-names = "vidsc0", "vidsc1";
+	 	cache-slices = <&llcc VIDSC0_ID>, <&llcc VIDSC1_ID>;
+	};
