So System DT can tie in with lopper plugin/assists so that TCMs are output to whatever the linux driver expects.

By this comment do you mean you want this to change or mention that it is implicitly Boolean?

So as the configuration for both the TI R5 and Xilinx R5 is independent what in common would you like to see here?
For example Xilinx driver can similarly have the "Xilinx,cluster-mode" or "cluster-mode" but for Xilinx platform manager our split configuration value in Xilinx platform manager is '0' while in TI drver it is '1'. So I can make the driver expect it then translate if needed if this what you prefer. 

Otherwise how would  you suggest the Xilinx r5 remoteproc driver describe split/lockstep mode?

will fix in next rev. for memory-regions is the following ok?
      collection of phandles for memory carveouts for elf-loading and
       inter-processor communication.

       This collection can consist of reserved-mem carveouts in DDR.

How is the following:
Collection of phandles for reserved on-chip SRAM regions.


Otherwise I can get rid of this property and combine into memory-region if you wish.

Can add the following:
power node id that is used to uniquely identify the RPU for Xilinx
      Power Management. The value is then passed to Xilinx platform
      manager for power on/off and access.

How is the following:
array of phandles that describe the rx and tx for xilinx zynqmp
      mailbox driver. order of rx and tx is described by the mbox-names
      property. This will be used for communication with remote
      processor.

How is the following:
array of strings that denote which item in the mboxes property array
      are the rx and tx for xilinx zynqmp mailbox driver

No... good point. Can remove the compatible string in next rev.
