I'd prefer not to list the binding in a 'misc' category. Maybe we can
have a new category and move the misc/sram.txt into the same?

On a similar note, putting the driver into drivers/misc seems
suboptimal: misc drivers should by definition be something that
is for some odd hardware with no external dependencies on it,
whereas your driver seems to be used by multiple other drivers.
Would it make sense to put it into drivers/bcma when that is the
only bus it is used on?

Please use a specific SoC here as the compatible string, not something
with 'x' in it as a wildcard.

Hmm, multiline macros are ugly. How about using one function to read
into an s64 internally using kstrtoll, and simple inline wrappers around
that for the smaller types, doing the appropriate range check?

Rather than calling the same set of functions multiple times, can you
do this using a table driven approach for smaller code size and
improved readability?

You can avoid the explicit be32_to_cpup here if you use
of_property_read_u32 above.
