Thanks for your review, Andrew,
Just submitted an updated binding document, with new proper subject line:

As this is a serial GPIO controller, a critical piece of configuration information is how many GPIOs we wish to serialise. This is done in multiples of 8, up to 80 pins.
The bindings need to describe the "ngpios" property from the generic GPIO bindings and how this affects the behaviour of the controller.
We also need to add the "bus-frequency" property here to control the rate of SGPMCK.

We need this, but not for the reason specified, and it should be a required property. We need PCLK (the APB clock) to derive the SGPIO bus frequency. Despite what the datasheet blurb says, there's no debounce control for the SGPIO master (this is a copy/paste mistake from the description of the parallel GPIO master).

You'll need to fix up the example after making the changes mentioned above.
