Something happened to the linewrapping here.

It looks like you are missing the family name here.

I would make a single entry for the platform with all the drivers here. Please
keep the MAINTAINERS file patch separate from the devicetree patch though.

No board specific compatible string? Also, this value is not
documented anywhere.

'earlyprintk' and 'user_debug' should not go into the .dts, set these from
the boot loader when you are debugging.
You probably want to add some aliases, to assign fixed numbers to
the uart and mmc controller among other things.

As mentioned in a previous review, it would be helpful to have the drivers
and bindings together in the same series for easier review.

The ehci is almost never completely generic, I would recommend defining a
SoC specific compatible string as well, so you can add quirks later if you
find a problem. Having the generic string as a fallback is a good idea though,
as that means you can just use the normal driver as long as there are no
special requirements.
To a lesser degree, the same is true for the uart.
Please check the devicetree files in order to validate the bindings. In
this case, you should get a warning about the 'ehci@' name being
non-standard. The normal name is usb@

What device is this exactly? The name indicates an sram, which would
use the compatible="mmio-sram" binding instead of "mtd-ram", but then
the partition has an "nvram" label that indicates that this is an nvmem
type device. "mtd-ram" is probably not what you want though.

Same thing here, "vrom" is clearly not a standard name.
